The international Gumball 3000 rally will make a stop in Bandera on June 8, bringing more than 100 exotic vehicles and a slate of public events to the Cowboy Capital of the World.
The rally is scheduled to arrive along 11th Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as part of its 2026 route from Miami to Mexico City.
Gumball 3000 is a seven- day, 3,000-mile road rally that blends car culture, entertainment and celebrity appearances.
Founded in 1999, the event is known for featuring high-end supercars driven by a mix of entrepreneurs, influencers and public figures.
Organizers emphasize the rally is “a rally, not a race,” focusing on the experience rather than competition.
Bandera’s stop is expected to serve as a high-energy lunch break before participants continue south toward the U.S.-Mexico border.
Event organizers say the public can expect a festival-like atmosphere throughout the afternoon, including cattle drive parades, live music, gun shows and merchandise vendors.
The event is free and open to the public, with no tickets required.
The rally regularly draws large crowds in host cities, offering spectators an up-close look at rare and exotic vehicles while blending local culture with the global car event.
Bandera was selected in part for its identity as the “Cowboy Capital of the World,” providing a Texas Hill Country backdrop for the rally’s cross-country route.
Organizers encourage attendees to follow official Gumball 3000 social media channels for updates ahead of the event.
