New Hope Automobile Show, Food Truck Festival Is Aug. 11, 12

The New Hope Automobile Show returns to the grounds of New Hope-Solebury High School, 180 West Bridge Street, New Hope, PA, for a weekend celebration Saturday, August 11 and Sunday, August 12, 2018 that includes a road rally; a field of antique and classic vehicles; and food trucks. Food trucks?

“We’ve always had food vendors, but this year we’re adding more variety with the Food Truck Festival,” said Steve Williams, a Show committee member. “We’re limited to one day with the ongoing construction at the school, but we’re still presenting two shows in one day as far as all of the vehicles on display. We anticipate people will want some unique food options to choose from while they’re here looking at all the great cars and the food trucks we’ve lined up fit the bill.”

Although The New Hope Automobile Show will be one day only due to the ongoing construction at the high school, it remains a full weekend event starting with the return of the Vintage & Classic Road Rally at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 11, 2018. This Road Rally is open to all wishing to take their vintage vehicles to the open road for a non-timed adventure.

Sunday, August 12, 2018, brings The New Hope Automobile Show itself, presented by The New Hope-Solebury Community Association. This year the show is honoring the TVR, a unique British-made sports car. The Show is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with awards presented to first, second, and third place winners in over 50 categories. All marquees, foreign and domestic, classic and antique, will be on display and all will undergo the same exacting standards of judging. At 2:30 p.m., winners participate in the Parade of Champions. All vehicles entered must be judge-ready.

Proceeds provide funds for scholarships to New Hope-Solebury High School seniors as well as to the cancer research of Fox Chase Cancer Center. The New Hope Automobile Show proceeds also support other charitable organizations, including NHS Baseball Club, Solebury Lions, Solebury Soccer Club, and Scout Troops 52 and 41, with many of these groups providing volunteers the day of the show.

Gates are open to the public Sunday, August 12, 2018, from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Purchase tickets at the gate: $10.00 general admission; $5 senior citizens. Active Duty Military, Active Duty National Guard, and Active Duty Reserve personnel and their dependents attend for free (must show ID).
