By : Robert Elhen.

The Knowlton Classic Automobile Show will return for its second edition on Saturday, August 22, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Following a successful inaugural event in 2025, this year’s show promises another enjoyable gathering.

Organized by the Knowlton Classic Automobile Club, a local group dedicated to preserving and sharing the enjoyment of historic automobiles, the event celebrates the diversity that continues to inspire generations of enthusiasts.

Classic Cars, Motorcycles and Rare Finds

A“classic” automobile is considered to be significant due to its design, influence on technology and impact on
society. The show will feature a carefully curated collection of pre-1980 classic European automobiles and motorcycles, including several rarely seen models. Vehicles are on display near the intersection of St. Paul Street and Lakeside Road. Admission is free.

Cars and Movies

The event coincides with the Knowlton Film Festival. Visitors will be treated to the special theme of Cars and Movies, featuring classic automobiles that appeared in famous movies. The show will also celebrate the 150th anniversary of Singer Motors, with a display of these rarely seen British roadsters. An unusual collection of motorbikes will also grace the event.

It’s a great opportunity to experience the charm of a bygone era while enjoying one of Knowlton’s most vibrant cultural weekends.

Stories Behind the Machines

The Knowlton Classic Automobile Show focuses on authenticity, heritage, and conversation. Exhibitors will be present to share the stories behind their automobiles and bikes, discuss restoration challenges, and answer questions from visitors. It’s an opportunity for residents and visitors to explore an interesting collection of classics while supporting the local establishments.

Whether you are a dedicated automobile enthusiast, or simply curious about the vehicles that defined an era, the event offers an engaging and memorable experience.

Entry is free and everyone is invited to participate in this celebration of classic European automobiles, at the corner of St-Paul and Lakeside, in Knowlton, on August 22, 2026.
