Heritage’s 53rd Annual Auto Show
Saturday, June 7
10 am-2 pm
Rain Date: Sunday, June 8
This all-inclusive, family-friendly event highlights antique and classic automobiles, hot rods, custom cars, and motorcycles in excellent original or restored condition. All body styles are invited, and show cars are displayed on the lawns at Heritage, where registered vehicles can compete for awards. Enjoy lunch from Lilly’s Café, vote for your favorite car, build and display a LEGO® vehicle, and watch the parade of show cars at 2 pm.
The rain date for this event is Sunday, June 8. A decision to move to the rain date will be made by 2 pm on Friday, June 6. Visiting the show is free with museum admission or membership; however, advance ticket purchase or reservation (for Heritage members) is highly recommended for faster entry on this high-visitation day.

Registration Notes:
- There is a limit on the number of cars eligible for judging – if you wish for your vehicle to be judged, please pre-register and check the box for vehicle judging. Please note that only pre-registered vehicles will be considered, and that participants who received an award at the 2024 Heritage Annual Auto Show will not be eligible for an award in 2025, with the exception of Oldest Car and Oldest Motorcycle awards.
- Show cars will be displayed on two separate lawns for crowd management and to facilitate early departures.
- Deadline for pre-registration is 9 am on June 6, 2025, but day-of registration may be available if capacity allows. Registration fee is $25 per vehicle through June 1. From June 2 until the day of the show, the registration fee per vehicle is $30.
- Each entry includes two admissions to Heritage Museums & Gardens (a $50 value) and the opportunity to compete for various awards (if desired).
- Vehicles will be admitted no earlier than 8 am on the show day. No admittance will be made to the show after 9:30 am sharp. Heritage opens to the public at 10 am.
- Fire extinguishers are required in all show vehicles.
- Commercial signs and advertisements are not permitted unless authorized in advance by show management.
- Movement of vehicles during show hours is restricted because the museum’s paths of travel are shared with pedestrians. Participants who wish to leave early must specify their intention upon arrival and will be parked on the field reserved for early departure vehicles. NOTE: Early departure takes place only at 12:30 pm, prior to the awards ceremony.
- Awards will be presented promptly at 1:50 pm and all vehicles must depart the show field during the organized exit parade at 2 pm.
