The annual Rockville Antique and Classic Car Show will be held from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19, on the grounds of Glenview Mansion in Rockville Civic Center Park. The event, which each year is one of the largest classic car shows in the Mid-Atlantic Region, is free to attend.

This year’s show will include exhibitions featuring 32 car clubs, in addition to displays of other rare vehicles. The show also has a flea market, car sales area and live music by the Bad Influence Band. Food and drink will be available for purchase.

Glenview Mansion is located at 603 Edmonston Dr. in Rockville. Parking at Rockville Civic Center Park is free, but limited. Enter from Baltimore Road at Avery Road. Accessible parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to those with an accessible placard or license plate.

A courtesy shuttle will run every 15-20 minutes from Meadow Hall Elementary School, which is located at 251 Twinbrook Parkway, to the show grounds. The shuttles are accessible and will operate from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Each year, the Mayor and Council of Rockville selects one vehicle to receive the Mayor and Council Award. The 2023 recipient was a 1955 Lotus MK IX owned by Kevin McGovern.
