An old-time family-friendly favorite is returning to the scene in Selbyville, Delaware, this Saturday, June 14. It’s the Old Timers’ Day Classic Car Show & Family Festival—a tradition 68 years in the making.
Taking place on W. Church Street from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Old Timers’ Day Classic Car Show & Family Festival is a most gratifying endeavor offering a little something for everyone in your group. As the name implies, it provides the ultimate experience for classic car enthusiasts, especially.
More than 100 vehicles dating from 2005 and earlier (some as far back as the 1910s) will be featured. Prospective participants, take note; there’s still time to register. Click here to learn more.
Day-of registration options are also available for a fee of $10. All registered Classic Cars will be given a form and placard. Registrants are encouraged to pay with cash to expedite the check-in process.
All cars 2000 and older will be automatically in the running for a Top 25 Award. Judging begins at 10 a.m.
Car Awards will include the following categories: Best Overall Winner, Oldest of the Old Timers Award, and People’s Choice Award. The first 100 registered vehicles of any distinction will also receive a commemorative Old Timers’ Day gift.
The day’s events aren’t exclusively linked to Classic Cars, though. Numerous other family-fun activities and endeavors will comprise the festival scene as well.
Artisans and food vendors will set up shop beginning at 8 a.m. and remain in full operation through the end of the 2 p.m. hour. This is also the time slot when most ongoing kids’ activities will be available, including inflatables/bounce houses, face painting, and carnival games with prizes.
The Flag Day Opening Ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Main Tent. Other delightful undertakings to consider are the Community Book Sale, Historic Walking Tour, and ongoing Fire Truck Rides starting at 11 a.m. behind Town Hall. Don’t forget to swing by the Indoor Roller Rink at Salem Church. Skate rentals are only $5!
You also won’t want to miss the elaborate Beer Garden by Banks Wines & Spirits. All proceeds go towards supporting the Selbyville Fire Department.
Sponsored by the Bank of Ocean City, live musical performances by BJKH Entertainment will take place from 8 a.m. to noon. Then the Glass Onion Band, sponsored by Mountaire Farms, will steal the show at Town Hall between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The 68th Annual Old Timers’ Day Classic Car Show & Family Festival truly makes for a mutually appealing daylong delight. Whatever your age and interest, you’ll be inclined to agree—there truly is something for everyone to enjoy here.
