Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario, is preparing for the 53rd Annual Antique & Classic Car Show taking place on August 9, 2026. This free event will be held at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum & Community Centre at 14732 Woodbine Avenue. It is the community’s longest-running family event and has been a local tradition since 1973.

The show typically brings more than 400 vintage vehicles and around 2,000 visitors to the area. According to Discover Stouffville, the event helps bring tourism to the town, which benefits local shops and restaurants. Besides looking at cars, people can enjoy live music, food vendors, and tours of the museum buildings.

Admission is free for both people coming to watch and those bringing their cars to show. To keep the focus on heritage, only vehicles built in 1990 or earlier can win prizes. Cars made between 1991 and 2000 are welcome to join but will be for display only.

The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville manages the event as the museum’s largest annual fundraiser. Organizers may coordinate road closures near Woodbine Avenue to help manage the large number of visitors and vintage vehicles expected throughout the day.
