NEWTOWN, PA — The 10th Annual Autism Car Show & Family Fun Day rolls onto the Newtown campus of the Bucks County Community College on Saturday.
From 1 to 5 p.m., visitors are invited to explore what organizers are calling "an impressive lineup" of vehicles while enjoying food, live music, vendors, and family-friendly entertainment.
Children can also meet their favorite Star Wars characters "from a galaxy far, far away" as they stroll the show grounds, adding a little movie magic to an already unforgettable afternoon.
"This is a day where chrome shines, engines roar, and every rev helps create a brighter future for children and adults with autism," said organizers.
Proceeds from the event benefit Potential Inc. of Newtown, which provides services to individuals with autism. This year marks a double milestone for Potential, its 20th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of its car show.

What started as a gathering for car enthusiasts in the Newtown Business Commons has become one of the community's favorite family traditions, bringing together supporters, local businesses, and neighbors to celebrate inclusion, connection, and possibility.
Event Highlights
