Memorial Day Weekend event in Rochester Municipal Park
The Rochester Lions Club is hosting its annual car show on Saturday, May 24, 2025, during the Memorial Day weekend in Rochester Municipal Park. The show runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., rain or shine.
Fresh off its 80th-anniversary celebration in late 2024, the club is presenting its 44th annual Festival of Cars show, known as the “Prettiest Car Show in Michigan.” The show will feature approximately 200 rare, vintage, and antique vehicles, all built before the year 2000.
The club awards trophies in 14 classes by year for cars, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles dating from 1900-1999, and includes Best of Show, Pride of the Lions, Pick of the Litter, and the Ted Cram Memorial Founders Award. The awards will be presented at approximately 3:30 p.m. All proceeds from the car show go to support Leader Dogs for the Blind and other Lions charities.
In addition to the fine-looking cars, attendees can enjoy food and refreshments, a number of 50/50 raffles, and music from a local DJ.
