Celebrate summer and fabulous cars at the 16th annual MSV Antique and Modified Car Show! This event is coordinated by the Shenandoah Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America (SRAACA). Taking place in a new location—in front of the galleries building—the car show begins at 10 a.m. and will conclude with an awards ceremony from 2–3 p.m.
Food and fresh-squeezed lemonade will be available for purchase from the Melted Dreams and Taqueria la Mexicana food trucks and Laura’s Lemons. Limited trailer parking is available. No pets, please. Only service animals are permitted in the Museum gardens and galleries building.
There is no fee for registration; however, pre-registration is advised.
