Do you own a 1975 or older sports car or vintage race car and want to be in the Vintage Sports Car Parade? The Vintage Sports Car Parade is one of the most popular adjunct events that surround each year’s Historic Festival. Starting at 4 p.m. on Thursday, September 2, at Lime Rock Park, more than 120 great cars “rally” a 17-mile route on the local roads, including driving through the heart of Lakeville and Salisbury where parade-watchers have been waiting in anticipation. About an hour after the start, the parade of cars arrive in Falls Village for the Street Fair: Live music with Wanda Houston, entertainment, and great food.
We continue to accept entries for the 11th annual Vintage Sports & Race Car Parade. Due to the over whelming interest in the parade this year, our parade committee is thoroughly reviewing applications as the parade is capped at 125 cars. Accepted participants will be charged a $25 fee to be donated to The Corner Food Pantry of Lakeville, CT.
