Carlow gears up for jam-packed weekend as vintage and classic car show rolls into town
Vintage cars, tractors, a parade, stalls, jiving and more as the Carlow Vintage and Classic Motor Club Show returns
One of Carlow's most popular annual events is back, promising a weekend filled with vintage cars, classic tractors, live music, and family fun.
The Carlow Vintage and Classic Motor Club Annual Show returns to Duckett's Grove on Saturday, August 9 and Sunday, August 10, 2025, drawing collectors, car lovers and families from near and far.
The weekend kicks off in style with a town parade on Saturday afternoon. A fleet of gleaming classic vehicles will roll out from the Woodford Dolmen Hotel at 4pm, cruising through Carlow Town before returning to Duckett's Grove for a chance for locals to catch a glimpse of the stunning motors before the main event.
Sunday is show day, with gates opening to the public from 11am. Visitors can expect a huge display of vintage and classic vehicles, ranging from pre-war beauties to retro favourites from the 1980s, all lovingly restored by their proud owners.
But it's far more than just a car show. Alongside the motors, there'll be live music, stalls, a dog show, an auto jumble, and entertainment for all ages. Declan Flanagan will bring the energy with live jiving, while families can enjoy food, games, and a laid-back day out.
