Classic Car Show returns to Leesburg

The Academies of Loudoun will present the 36th annual Leesburg Car Show on Saturday, Oct. 5, from
12 to 4 p.m., in downtown Leesburg.

Historically, the Leesburg Car Show has placed an emphasis on displaying “classic” cars (25+ years). While all high-quality vehicles are welcome to participate (regardless of age), only classic class cars will be eligible for the specialty awards. Over 30 awards will be presented, including Top 10 Spectator’s Choice. The awards ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the intersection of King and Market streets.

Pre-registration is $30 or $35 on the day of the show. All participating vehicles must be “pre-staged” at Tuscarora High School between 9:30 and 11 a.m. Late entries will not be permitted.

Downtown streets will close at 9:30 a.m. for car show staging at the following locations:

• King Street from North to Loudoun streets
• Market Street from Church to Wirt streets
• Cornwall Street from King to Wirt streets

Please note, only residents living on Cornwall Street, between Church and King streets, will have street access during the closures. Downtown streets will reopen to the public by 5 p.m.

In the event of inclement weather, the event will be moved to Saturday, Oct. 19. If the event is cancelled, refunds will be provided within 30 business days. All proceeds will benefit the students and staff at the Academies of Loudoun.
