Fairfield, CT - Some would say that no summer is complete without attending a classic car show and there will be a great one right here in Fairfield this Sunday to benefit a wonderful local charity, Operation Hope.
The Connecticut Seaport Car Club is a large and active car club with 135 members, which hosts 12 car cruises on Thursday nights between May and October, marches in 5 parades, including the Fairfield Memorial Day Parade and Southport’s Blessing of the Fleet, and puts on one major car show each summer.
With much anticipation, the CT Seaport Car Club is excited to announce that our 9th Annual Antique and Classic Car Show will be on Sunday, June 8th at Fairfield Ludlowe High School’s back parking lot from 9:00am-3:00pm. The back parking lot offers many parking spots in the shade under the solar panels, which is a rare and very welcome commodity at a car show. All show cars are welcome. No cut off year. This show is FREE to the public, and $20 per show car. Over 200+ classic cars are expected.
The Club celebrated our 15th anniversary last year and simultaneously I moved our car show from another town to Fairfield. We were pleasantly surprised by and appreciated the extent of support offered by the Town of Fairfield, and Fairfield Parks & Rec in particular.
This car show offers much more than just beautiful classic cars, as there are quite a few other things going on for all to enjoy. Highlights include:
- Show cars arrive at 9:00am
- Welcome address by Bill Gerber, First Selectman of Fairfield at 10:30am
- Blessing of the show cars by Fairfield University Jesuit Priest, Father John Savard at 10:35am
- Welcome address by Carla Miklos, Executive Director of Operation Hope at 10:40am
- Dog Demonstration by the Fairfield Police K9 Unit at 11:00am
- Live Music by Jukebox 45 Show Band (CT’s Premier 50’s & 60’s band) at 11:30-1:00pm
- National Anthem sung live at 12:00pm
- Goody bags for the first 100 show cars
- Over 100 trophies to be awarded starting at 1:45pm
- Vendors, Food Trucks, Ice Cream, and Popcorn
- News 12 covered the show last year
The Club offers many thanks to our additional show sponsors: Joe Pramer and Rick Krollman of Morgan Stanley on the Brick Walk in Fairfield, Z2 Motorsports of New Britain and MGM ATM Service & Supply of Stratford, CT.
