Mark your calendars, car enthusiasts — one of our community's favorite summer traditions is rolling back into town later this month.
Classics On Kent returns to Lindsay on Saturday, July 19th, bringing hundreds of vintage vehicles to the downtown core for a day of nostalgia and community celebration. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. along Kent Street, Lindsay's main downtown thoroughfare.
Beyond the gleaming chrome and restored classics, attendees can browse vendor booths and enjoy the Kids Fun Zone, making it a family-friendly outing that appeals to all ages. Whether you're a dedicated gearhead or simply appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era, the show offers something for everyone.
This year marks the second time Wards Lawyers has organized the event. The Lindsay-based law firm took over hosting duties from the Lindsay Downtown BIA last year, stepping into a role that CEO Melissa Wemyss describes as a natural fit for the firm's community involvement.
Wemyss emphasized that the event draws both classic car owners eager to showcase their prized possessions and spectators looking to step back in time. The firm's decision to host reflects its longstanding commitment to supporting local gatherings that bring our community together.
As for changes to the beloved format? Wemyss made it clear the organizers aren't looking to reinvent the wheel — they have no intention to alter what has made Classics On Kent such a cherished annual tradition.
The show will proceed rain or shine, so there's no need to worry about weather putting a damper on the day's festivities. For those planning to attend or interested in displaying a vehicle, complete details are available at www.classicsonkent.com.
With just under two weeks until the big day, now's the time to polish up those classics or simply plan your visit to downtown Lindsay for what promises to be another memorable celebration of automotive history and community spirit.
