2026 Car Festival - Thursday, August 13 at 5:30 p.m. to dusk
The annual Harbor Springs Car Festival, sponsored by the Harbor Springs Chamber Foundation, will be held from 5:30 p.m. to dusk on Thursday, August 13, at Zorn Park in downtown Harbor Springs.
The event typically attracts 200+ vehicles and is free for all entrants and spectators. As in the past, a limited number of commemorative dash plaques and event posters will be available and given to entrants on a first-come, first-served basis. The festival is open to all types of cars, trucks, and motor vehicles. There will be no judging. Line-up and parking begins at 5:00 p.m. “The show is purely for the enjoyment of the car owners and spectators,” said event founder Dave Hinz.
“The reason this show has become so popular is that all types of cars and trucks are welcome. We encourage everyone who has a special vehicle to bring it to the show,” Hinz said. “Sports cars, vintage cars and trucks, rat rods, and even new cars are welcome. Our motto is ‘If you have a special car, bring it, because someone else will love it too.’”
No pre-registration is required. Simply show up at Zorn Park at 5:00 p.m.
