The Bedford Historical Society is set to host the Strawberry Festival’s 60th Year Kickoff Car Show on Sunday, June 2, 2024 in Historic Downtown Bedford. The event, a beloved tradition, will take place on Broadway Avenue from 1 PM to 5 PM, offering a delightful afternoon for car enthusiasts and families alike.

Broadway Avenue will be closed to traffic, allowing the cars to be displayed right on the street, creating a vibrant and immersive experience for all attendees. With an entry fee of $15, car owners must register in advance to secure their spot. Those interested can contact Frank McGrearty for more information or to register, ensuring they don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity.

Adding to the festive atmosphere, there will be an ice cream social concurrent with the car show. Attendees can indulge in delicious treats including ice cream, hot dogs, chips, and soda. The gazebo will be alive with music, and guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs to enjoy the entertainment comfortably.

In addition to the car show and ice cream social, June 2nd marks the deadline for pre-ordering strawberry pies for the Strawberry Festival, which will be happening June 7th-9th. Don’t miss your chance to savor these delightful desserts, a highlight of the Strawberry Festival.
