Cars in the Park, Leelanau County’s longest running auto show, is back again this Memorial Day weekend and is celebrating 29 years of bringing car enthusiasts together to revel in a beloved tradition still going strong today.
Since 1998, the popular event has continued in Northport, attracting hundreds of car fans and families from the region and across the state. All the cars registered in this year’s event will be situated in Haserot Park in Northport. For the last few years, corvettes had to be parked in Marina Park by the pavilion for logistical reasons, but all cars will be parked in the same vicinity this weekend.
Awards are given out for multiple categories including: Top 10, the Founder’s Award, Best Modified, Best Sports Car, Best Corvette, Best Pre-War Classic, Best Classic, Best Modern Classic, and People’s Choice. It’s free admission for spectators, and the show opens at 10 a.m., with awards announced at 3 p.m.
