Fenders on Front

The Downtown Issaquah Association (DIA) reprises the Father’s Day family tradition for the 18th year. This year it will be held June 15, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The eagerly awaited program was conceived by longtime local Issaquah residents in 2005 as simply a car show that would traverse the Mountain to Sound Greenway. Since, resident and DIA Board member Marv Nielsen has worked with volunteers to turn Fenders into an annual treasure and entertaining weekend experience for generations of families.

Considered a premier event for classic and vintage car lovers in Washington State, dozens of car clubs and about 500 classic cars and motorcycles line Front Street in historic downtown. It attracts 7,000-plus visitors from the Pacific Northwest and regulars from Canada and Idaho.

Fenders includes day-long festivities with live music throughout the town, food trucks, kids’ games and attractions. For the foodies, there are legions of restaurants throughout downtown, offering varied ethnic and American cuisine. See your options at Issaquah Eats.

Fenders is a benefit for Life Enrichment Options, an Issaquah nonprofit that creates homes and enriches life for individuals with developmental disabilities. Donations keep Fenders on Front Street accessible and community-powered! Donate to support LEO and Fenders on Front Street.
