Get ready the
Classics against Cancer Show Father’s Day Show in Cedarvale Park, on the banks of the Credit River on June 19.
After a long winter, vintage car and truck enthusiasts love to get their motor running and shine up the chariot for a day of fun.
Classics against Cancer has been the unofficial “doorway to summer” for car fans.
Local businessman, Neil Young along with a dozen of his friends, initiated classics against Cancer in 1988.
The idea was to combine a classical concert with a car show as a backdrop to the music and park setting.
The driving force behind all these wonderful cars showing up is the battle against cancer. This year the proceeds go towards the Childhood Cancer Campaign.
For 29 years, Classics against Cancer car show has become one of the best-known events in Southern Ontario with new ideas being added yearly. Attendance records have exceeded 5,000 in some years.
The 2014 show signalled a renaissance with high attendance and very favorable comments. CAC 2015 built on the momentum with new displays.
