SUNDAY EDIT: THE FESTIVAL WAS CANCELLED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 16.
Bucharest gets a serious dose of horsepower this weekend as Truck Tuning Festival – AUTOEXPO & TUNING takes over House of Free Press – Casa Presei Libere from August 14 to 16, 2026.
Dedicated to automotive and tuning enthusiasts, the event brings together customised trucks, vans, cars and motorcycles, as well as exhibitors specialising in accessories, equipment and vehicle customisation. Admission is free.
Custom Trucks, Cars and Motorcycles in Bucharest
Truck Tuning Festival is built around vehicles that are anything but ordinary. Visitors can expect to see heavily customised trucks alongside tuned cars, utility vehicles and motorcycles, with modifications ranging from distinctive paintwork and personalised interiors to special lighting and other visual or technical upgrades.
For truck enthusiasts, it is a rare opportunity to see these machines away from the motorway and up close, where the details of each project become the real attraction.
The event also brings together owners, professional tuners and companies from the automotive and road transport industries, turning the area around Casa Presei Libere into an open-air meeting point for the Romanian tuning community.
A Free Automotive Event for the Weekend
You do not have to be a dedicated tuning fan to enjoy the show. The unusual vehicles, custom designs, and sheer scale of some of the trucks make the Truck Tuning Festival an easy stop for photographers, families, and anyone looking for something different to do in Bucharest over the August weekend.
The organisers describe the festival as a family-friendly event, with children also able to get a closer look at vehicles they would normally only see out on the road.
