Take a Trip Through Wheels of Yesteryear at Rockville’s Car Show

The Rockville Antique and Classic Car Show, a city tradition for more than six decades, rolls into Rockville Civic Center Park on Saturday, Oct. 18.

The show will be held 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the picturesque park at 603 Edmonston Drive. Home to the historic Glenview Mansion, the hills of Rockville Civic Center Park offer a fall backdrop for collectors and enthusiasts to share memories as they stroll through vehicles from 33 car clubs, from Packard and Plymouth to Fiat and Ferrari.

The free show – one of the oldest and the largest in the mid-Atlantic region – is open to the public and features a car-related flea market, car sales area and live music by Karl Stoll and the Danger Zone. Food and drink will be available to purchase. Registration to show a car or reserve a flea market space is now closed. There will be no registration on the day of the show. There are no tickets or registration required to attend.

A courtesy shuttle will run from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. every 15-20 minutes from Meadow Hall Elementary School, 251 Twinbrook Parkway, to the rear of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre. The shuttles are accessible. They are operated by the Rockville Senior Center and say “Rockville Senior Services” on the side.

Limited public parking will be available at Rockville Civic Center Park by entering from Baltimore Road at Avery Road. Accessible parking in the park′s main parking lot will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to those with an accessible placard or license plate. Bike parking is located outside the tennis courts at Rockville Civic Center Park.
