Celebrities And Kids Will Help Judge Car Show On Hoboken Waterfront

HOBOKEN, NJ — Celebrities will come to Hoboken next month to help judge a car competition, and local kids can apply to be judges as well.

Hoboken will host its inaugural car show, The Hudson River Showcase, on Sunday, June 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

More than 100 models from pre-1959 through the 1990s will be displayed on the waterfront.

Judges will include former Hoboken Fire Batallion Chief Mike Turner from "Survivor," art gallery owner Al Barsky, designer Donwan Harrell, and others. Kids 8-14 may apply to judge (see link below).

“The HBA is pleased to present the inaugural Hudson River Showcase along our Hoboken waterfront," said Hoboken Business Alliance Executive Director Roxanne Earley. “We’re excited to welcome all into the mile-square city to enjoy all that the city has to offer, from the spectacular views to the many shops and restaurants lining the charming streets."

Attendance is free.

This judged car show will also include the Hagerty Youth Judging Program. Designed primarily for youth ages 8-14, this program brings the world of classics to a kid-friendly level. The Young Judges are guided through the show field as a group to pre-selected show cars and interact with owners, allowing the judges to learn details, history, and fun facts about each vehicle.

Youth Judging is free to participants and includes a hat, t-shirt and judging kit. Youth Judges Can Apply Here. [UPDATE: Spots are now filled, a message said.]
