A monthly car exhibition is set to transform the heart of Wilkes-Barre into a vibrant showcase for automotive enthusiasts. Running from May through October, this event invites classic and modern vehicles alike to take center stage on the last Friday of each month. Participants will have designated areas to display their prized rides while ensuring the central square remains accessible. The event aims to foster community spirit and celebrate the rich history of automobiles.

Event Schedule and Layout

This year’s car show series kicks off in late spring and runs through fall, offering six unique opportunities for car lovers to gather. Each event takes place in the evening, providing an ideal atmosphere for both exhibitors and spectators. Vehicles will be strategically positioned around the perimeter of Public Square to enhance visibility while maintaining safety guidelines.

The schedule includes dates spanning from late May until the end of October, allowing ample time for participants to prepare and enjoy the festivities. Cars will be parked diagonally in spots encircling the square, as well as between concrete planters. This arrangement ensures that all attendees can admire the diverse collection of automobiles without obstructing key pathways or interfering with other public activities. Organizers emphasize that no vehicles are permitted in the central area or near the stage to preserve open space for visitors.

Parking Guidelines and Contact Information

To ensure smooth operations during the car show, specific parking rules must be followed by all participants. While the surrounding areas provide ample space for vehicle displays, certain zones remain off-limits to maintain accessibility throughout the venue. Attendees should familiarize themselves with these regulations before arrival.

Mayor George C. Brown's administration has outlined clear instructions regarding permissible parking locations. Central areas within Public Square, including the stage vicinity, are strictly prohibited for vehicle placement. These restrictions aim to safeguard pedestrian movement and uphold the overall experience for everyone involved. For additional details about the event or clarification on logistics, interested parties may reach out to Mike Slusser, Wilkes-Barre’s Special Events Coordinator, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries related to the car show.
