Oak Bay Collector Car Festival
Oak Bay Village (Oak Bay Avenue)
The annual Oak Bay Collector Car Festival returns on July 21, 2024. Historically, this event attracts rare and unique cars, and is one of the most popular vehicles displays on the Island event calendar.
Collector car owners and enthusiasts of all makes and vintages are invited to bring their cars to Oak Bay Avenue to be enjoyed by visitors and locals alike. Cars are placed in sections along 5 blocks of Oak Bay Avenue, Monterey to Mitchell Street plus a portion of Hampshire Rd.
Many of the local restaurants and businesses will be open especially for the event. There will also be a BBQ put on by the St. Patrick's Church, as well as a number of food trucks to choose from in the parking lot behind the municipal hall. There will be ribbons awarded in a variety of categories, and great entertainment as well.
This year, online pre-registration is mandatory to guarantee your spot for $20 (plus fees). Questions can be directed to oakbayccf@gmail.com
New this year, exhibitors will be advised before the show which of 2 entrances they should use. Along with 100% pre-registration, this should help expedite entry. Groups of cars that would like to park together are asked to arrive as a group. Note that entrances will not open until 8:00am this year. Volunteers will escort cars to their location where they will be on display until 3:00pm.
This is a non-profit community event for everyone to enjoy seeing and talking to owners of a diverse collection of locally owned cars. If interested in volunteering, please contact us at obccfvolunteer@gmail.com.
