Important Traffic Update – Gate 15 Entry
If you’re planning to sell or enter the Car Corral at the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show on April 19, please note an important traffic change that may impact your arrival.
Due to the new train line in La Verne, traffic on Northbound Fairplex Drive to Arrow Highway has been reduced to one lane, which may cause delays, especially later in the morning. Traffic at Gate 15 is typically heaviest between the hours of 6AM – 8:30AM.
Vendors & Car Corral – Gate 15 Directions
Standard Route
From Interstate 10:
- Exit at Fairplex Drive
- Head north up the hill
- Turn left (Fairplex Drive continues)
- Continue to Arrow Hwy
- Turn right on Arrow Hwy
- Gate 15 will be on your right
Recommended Route (Avoid Traffic)
To avoid congestion near Spectator Gate 17, we strongly recommend:
Use Eastbound Arrow Highway from the North or South 57 freeway to enter Gate 15 directly
This route helps you bypass the heaviest traffic on Fairplex Drive and get in faster.

Thank you for your interest in bringing your car out to the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show.
There is no pre-registration for our Car Corral. All spaces for vehicles for show or sale are sold on a first come, first serve basis.
You will enter the Fairplex at Gate 15, which is located at 2398 E. Arrow Hwy, La Verne, CA 91750, between White Ave. and Fairplex Drive. Gate 15 opens at 9am on the Saturday prior to each event (the day before the event) and remains open day and night throughout the show on Sunday. Some people drop their vehicles off on Saturday, while most come in early Sunday Morning. Arrive early for best space selection. You will pay the entry fee of $30 (pre-’95 vehicles or any year Corvette, Camaro, Challenger, Mustang or Porsche) cash only. All other vehicles newer than 1995 are $100.00, cash only, to enter. This admission price includes: admission for the driver, one passenger and the space to park your vehicle. Any additional passengers will be charged general admission of $15. Children 12 and under are admitted free.
If you drop your vehicle off on Saturday, you will be issued an entrance ticket. Make sure you keep your entrance ticket with you and not inside your vehicle. Your ticket will allow you to re-enter Gate 15 with your tow vehicle any time during the event. Or, this ticket will also admit you and one guest to re-enter the event on Sunday at the Gate 17 (our spectator entrance), without being charged again, although Fairplex charges $20 for General Parking.
There is no additional charge for towing your vehicle in provided that the tow vehicle disconnects from the trailer or the show vehicle is off loaded from the trailer. We do provide a free designated area specifically for tow vehicles. If you do decide to tow your show/sale vehicle to the event, your entrance ticket will have the license plate number of the tow vehicle written on it. Your tow vehicle may re-enter the event, through Gate 15, with this pass and may park in the designated tow vehicle area.
Feel free to check out our website and read more information regarding a show/sale vehicle at http://www.pomonaswapmeet.com/showsell/how-to-show-or-sell-your-car.
We look forward to seeing you at the next Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show!
