Car Show Revs up to Make Comeback
It’s Back! Classic car owners and enthusiasts are tuning up for the 2018 Wheat Ridge Carnation Festival Car Show. And the vehicles are looking great. The machines will roll in (loudly) on Sunday, August 12th, the final day of the festival, and should not be missed. Entries will be parked in the grassy right in the heart of festivities – surrounded by food trucks, vendors, the main stage and more.
While there will be plenty to gawk over, there will also be contests among the different
car classifications. To maintain the festival’s community spirit, the judging will be done
by Wheat Ridge Community Service Members. Custom-made trophies will be handed
out for multiple categories including one for each car class, and a Best of Show Award.
Whatever the classic/vintage car type, this show is sure to have a category for it. This
year’s categories are:
- Trick Truck
- Pre-war (1940 and older) hot rod
- Post-war (1941 – 1972) hot rod
- Contemporary (72 and newer)
- Stock Original (ALL YEARS)
- Air-cooled VW/Porsche
- Best of Show
- Motorcycle
- Junior class (18 years old and younger)
Do you have a specialty car that you would like to show off at the expanded car show this year? Entries are now open. After registering and paying, the Big Wheels on the Farm committee will contact you with more details. The $40 registration fee is non-refundable.
The Carnation Festival Car Show takes place Sunday, Aug. 12, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., in the heart of the festival grounds.
