50th Nantucket Daffodil Festival: Classic Car Show

Celebrate 50 years of springtime joy, community spirit, and classic style at the 50th Nantucket Daffodil Festival Classic Car Show — a special anniversary addition created to honor the legacy of the festival and expand the beloved Antique Car Show into something even more robust and inclusive. This commemorative, year-long 50th celebration invites more car lovers, collectors, and community members to be part of the tradition, recognizing the incredible contributions of participants who have traveled from near and far to make Daffodil Festival magic possible over the decades. We are so grateful for each and every one of you.

This year’s Classic Car Show will feature qualifying vehicles from model years 1980 through 1991, with space available for 50 cars. Participants are asked to complete the application carefully and include all requested information, as the registration window will be tight. Applications open the morning of Friday, February 20, and close at midnight on Friday, March 1. If you’re interested, we encourage you to submit your application promptly — we’ll notify participants as soon as possible.

The event will take place on Daffodil Sunday, April 26th at the VFW Post 8608, 22 New South Road, and promises a lively, celebratory atmosphere filled with food trucks, music, awards, themed categories, and an incredible lineup of really cool cars. This is all about bringing more people into the fun, honoring 50 years of memories, and making space for even more stories, vehicles, and community pride.

Come be part of the celebration, show off your ride, and enjoy a joyful day with fellow enthusiasts and neighbors. Let’s make this milestone year one to remember.
