Car enthusiasts have one last chance to enjoy a popular even in Cape Coral where vintage vehicles are displayed amidst a day of fun and entertainment.
Put on by the Cape Coral Museum of History, the final Classic Car Fest at Cultural Park of the season takes place April 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., where attendees can enjoy a morning of classic cars, music, food trucks, a merchant vendor village, hands-on activities, and free museum tours. The event is free and open to the public, with this month's theme being "Spring Fling."
"Everyone should come out for the final classic car fest of the season for a day filled with beautiful cars, fun music, delicious food, and unique shopping," said Cape Coral Museum of History Executive Director Janel Trull. "This is the end of our second season of Classic Car Fests, and each one has grown. It is becoming an event that not only car owners but vendors and the general public want to be at as well. Our fest in February had 150 cars on display."
All three museum buildings will be open for touring, as well as the Museum Store where guests can pick up local history books, vintage photos and maps, as well as museum branded items making great holiday gifts.
Anyone interested in showcasing a vehicle can pay the $10 fee at the entry tent. Show vehicles will be parking from 8 to 10 a.m.
"Classic cars due tend to continually arrive so the display is constantly expanding," Trull said. "We will have food trucks on site to grab a bite from as well as our vendor village to shop. You can even stop into the Museum and see the new exhibit 'Suitable for Framing: A collection of Cape Coral Cartoons by Doug MacGregor' for free."
Pre-registration for show cars is preferred, though individuals can show up day-of. To register online, visit capecoralmuseum.org.
Trull said the museum will "absolutely" be bringing the Classic Car Fest back again starting in the fall of 2025, running through spring of 2026.
The Cape Coral Museum of History is at 544 Cultural Park Blvd. The Car Fest will take place at Cultural Park located behind the museum.
