Concorso Ferrari & Friends is the most popular from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The Connecticut Children's Heroes Parade will arrive at approximately 11:00 am. This is a highly-anticipated moment when forty patient heroes, who were nominated for the experience, arrive in supercars to a red-carpet welcome.
Following the parade arrival there is plenty to look at and do. Individuals, couples, small groups and families delight in the experience every year, no matter what time they choose to attend. Stop by a food truck or bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the lawn or a blanket (no outside alcohol permitted).
This is not a formal “white gloves” concours but rather a relaxed and fun event designed to allow enthusiasts to display their own vehicles and admire others. We welcome all high-performance, sports, classic, race, muscle, hot-rods both import and domestic. Some display car owners may allow spectators to sit in their vehicles but touching paint is not allowed. Please check with the car owner if you would like to know more about their vehicle.
The highlight of the event is the arrival of the Connecticut Children's Heroes Parade at 11:00 am. The rest of the show is dedicated to cars, music, food and conversation!
