SIERRA CITY — After a post on Facebook earlier this month stating that the Big City Rod Run hot rod show would not be continuing, organizer Larry Breed announced a resurrection of the event for 2026. Next year’s Rod Run will take place on September 18 and 19, and Breed says “anything with a motor” will be able to enter. No registration or payment will be required.

Breed says he was convinced by friends to bring back the show in a more relaxed and less organized format. He says the show will likely rebrand as the “Big City Fun Run,” and he hopes it can continue in that format in future years. Friday, September 18, will feature a casual meet-and-greet in the afternoon at Sorracco’s Saloon in Sierra City. Cars will then be lined up on Main Street on Saturday. Breed says that he has no idea how many cars will show up, but that he’ll have fun no matter what. Breed also says that next year’s show is in honor of his first grandchild, Lola Jane, who was born the Friday before the very first Big City Rod Run.

One major focus of the 2026 show is bringing customers to Sierra City’s businesses. Breed suggests reserving rooms early and that more details are forthcoming. For more information, call (530) 862-1560.
