The Doylestown at Dusk Car Show’s origins go back to 1976 when the Doylestown Area Jay-Cees sponsored a car show that was held at Central Bucks West High School. Over the years, the car show had many sponsoring organizations. In 2010, the Doylestown Rotary Club took over the event and moved it to the center of Doylestown.
