On Saturday, October 14, 2023, as part of the Town of Southbury’s year-long 350th Anniversary Celebration, residents and visitors can enjoy the return of a fond tradition - the Southbury Classics & Car Parade, bringing the car community back to the one and only Southbury.
The event begins with a Car Parade at 9:00am starting along the Heritage Village Green. The route will take them along Heritage Road to Poverty Road to Main Street South (see the map below). The automobiles will then head west to 800 Main Street South where the Southbury Classics Car Show will be held, running from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Admission is FREE. Food trucks will be on site.
Spaces to display cars are limited, and must be pre-registered to be on the lot. The Car Parade is limited to 50 cars, and must be pre-registered separately, so early registration is encouraged. Registration is $20 each. Applications are being accepted through the event website at www.southburyclassics.com.
The Southbury Classics & Car Parade is one of the many events being held this year to celebrate the town’s 350th Anniversary (1673-2023), each event aimed at highlighting the past and progress of the one and only Southbury. The 350th Anniversary Steering Committee is John Dwyer and Kevin Bielmeier (co-chairs), Brian Jones (vice-chair), Justin Bette, Lynn Dwyer, Melinda Elliott, Michael Ganem, Kara Kenney, Mary Korsu, and Gosia Liedlich.
