Gravenhurst Gassin' Up for 23rd Annual Car Show - See You This Saturday!

The checkered flag waves as the 23rd Annual Gravenhurst Car Show pulls up this Saturday.

Many would believe it's physically impossible to jam pack live music, top-notch vendors, vintage vehicles and outdoor family fun into a one-day event; yet the Gravenhurst Car Show has managed to incorporate all of these essential elements and compact it into a memorable community gathering. The event lures thousands of people from all over North America to not only come view the well-preserved vehicles, but haul them Northwards as well. The Gravenhurst Car Show occurs annually on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend on the lakefront of Gull Lake - only adding to the overall landscape of the event. The occasion caters to a very wide age range due to a vast amount of activities and entertainment - leaving little-to-no room for excuses!

Feel the nostalgia motor through your veins as your eyes and ears soak up the sweet sensation of live music, ageless automobiles and engaging entertainment!

Registration Donation
As many of you are aware, we've introduced a requested $10.00 registration 'donation' this year.  We took many comments and suggestions into consideration and have decided this will be the best way to ensure our event continues to grow and prosper for many years to come.  We welcome all donations and are in no way making this a mandatory donation; it's a suggested amount.  We really appreciate all donations that come our way, and for the past few years, we've been able to take our event to the next level, as the Largest Car Show in Northern Ontario, because of your generosity and support.  Thank you to everyone who has donated over the years; let's work to continually expand our incredible event!

Breakfast at the Gravenhurst Legion

While preparing for the Car Show, be sure to pack an appetite because the Royal Canadian Legion: Harry Wray Branch 302 will be providing their early-morning breakfast from 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM at the Legion located on 290 Veterans Way. Adults will be able to treat themselves to a delicious plate for $8.00 and children 10 & under for $5.00.
Thank you, Legion!
