- **Event Name**: Old Car Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 07 Sep, 2025 at 09:30 am – Sun, 07 Sep, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Hundreds of vehicles from the 1890s through 1932 arrive from across the country to be perfectly set in the place where American history comes alive. Old Car Festival in Greenfield Village is a raucous ride, epitomizing the earnest optimism of the American Dream from the turn of the century to the Great Depression.  

Wander through the village to meet the owners who’ve passionately preserved these treasured machines. Watch drivers engage in games of skill, listen to the distinctive sounds of century-old vehicles, or sit back and enjoy expert insights while drivers motor through the Pass-in-Review parade. This weekend is your chance to become immersed in the moving stories of the early automotive era, a true automobile lover’s dream, as electric-, steam- and gas-powered engines are constantly in motion around you. 

America’s longest-running antique car show brings ragtime America and the Jazz Age to life with two days of historically inspired street food, music, dancing and activities. Stay late Saturday evening for the Gaslight Parade of Cars, dancing with the River Raisin Ragtime Revue and a Dixieland-style parade. 

❗NEW IN 2025: 19TH-CENTURY MOTORING
The automobile defined the 20th century, but its origins lie firmly in the 1800s. Karl Benz patented his pioneering Motorwagen in 1886, and American auto manufacturing was underway by the mid-1890s. Some of the country’s most storied makes – Oldsmobile, Stanley, Packard and Buick among them – started in that decade, and many future industrialists took their formative steps. This year, Old Car Festival recognizes the automobile’s earliest years with a salute to 19th-century motoring.
