AmeriCARna 2026 travelled across Taranaki over four days, with classic and custom vehicles visiting Ōpunake, Waitara, Inglewood, Stratford and Hāwera before the AmeriCARnival finale in central New Plymouth.
The event began with a convoy from TSB Stadium to Ōpunake Beach. Day two included the Rest Home Run before vehicles travelled through Waitara and Inglewood, while day three took the convoy south to Stratford and Hāwera ahead of the Friday night cruise back in New Plymouth.
The final day brought AmeriCARnival into the New Plymouth CBD, alongside an Air Force display viewed from the Coastal Walkway near the Wind Wand.
