Vintage Car Show
A community favorite returns to Downtown Highland Park! The City of Highland Park’s 5th annual Vintage Car Show is slated for Saturday, August 22, from 12 PM - 4 PM. Up to 150 classic & custom vehicles, vintage motorcycles, and an electric vehicle showcase will be displayed at the North St. Johns parking lot (525 Central Ave.), between Central Avenue and Elm Place, and along St. Johns Avenue, between Central and Park Avenues in downtown Highland Park.
This free, all-ages event promises an exciting afternoon spent perusing a variety of vintage cars while enjoying music from DJ Big Cat, radio personalities from MeTV 87.7, kid-friendly activities, giveaways, plus bites and beverages from Highland Park favorites!
Attendees can expect to see a diverse lineup of cars dating from the early 1900s to 1984, ranging from vintage models to unique classics, local Highland Park commercial vehicles, muscle cars, hot rods, and more.
In the spirit of this being an all-ages event, The Art Center Highland Park will be offering a free craft making opportunity at their booth onsite. Kids can decorate their very own wooden car craft to take home as a souvenir.
New for 2026: Enjoy even more vintage, classic, and antique vehicles with an expanded event footprint! Plus, get a glimpse into the future of automobiles with a brand new EV showcase featuring a number of electric and hybrid vehicles.
Onsite food and drink vendors include BWB Shakes, Harmony Coffee Bar, Las Torres Mexican Restaurant, Michael’s Grill & Salad Bar, and Steep Ravine Brewing Company. Libations will be available for those 21 and older.
