All are welcome. Register your cars by July 3.
From vintage classics and hot rods to tuners, 4x4s, motorcycles and electric vehicles, the Niagara College Community Car Show returns for its third year and will feature a diverse lineup of vehicles for every car enthusiast and curious visitor alike.
The event at the Welland Campus on Saturday, July 4 kicks off at 10 a.m. and includes family-friendly activities – a bounce house, kids activity zone, construction vehicles courtesy of Rankin, and an ice cream truck – food vendors, and plenty of cars. The outdoor event is free for spectators and hosted in partnership with NC’s School of Trades, the Motive Power program, and Community Relations and Events.
“What began three years ago as a modest idea to help promote the program has continued to grow with the support of dedicated students, staff volunteers and automotive enthusiasts from across the region,” said Pete D’Elia, coordinator of NC’s Motive Power program.
Opening ceremonies kick off at 10:15 a.m. with awards by car class at 1:30 p.m. Prize draws and a 50/50 raffle will raise funds for the Wayne Toth Motive Power Scholarship, named in honour of the former program coordinator.
“The scholarship adds even deeper meaning to a day fueled by community spirit, mentorship and opportunity,” said D’Elia. “We look forward to welcome the community to Niagara College to celebrate automotive excellence and the next generation of skilled trades professionals.”
Students and staff from the Motive Power program will offer guided tours of the automotive labs throughout the event, which runs until 2 p.m.
Have a unique car? Register to showcase it here by July 3 at 12 p.m. to be considered for awards.
