Rev up your engines for Friday Night Car Shows
It’s another summer of warm weather, smiles and Friday Night Car Shows.
Driving past the Bellmore Long Island Rail Road on any given Friday evening between late spring and early fall, chances are, you’ve seen the parking lot adjacent to Sunrise Highway filled with cars.
The beloved car show is a staple for the Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores, and weather permitting, attendees are sure to find a wide selection of automotives, whether it be vintage vehicles and buses, or newer models, like sports cars.
The chamber has been sponsoring the event since 2011, and now it hosts it in conjunction with Town of Hempstead. The show begins every Friday night, unless specified otherwise, at 6 p.m. Those who stop by are sure to find plenty of vehicles — and plenty of people — from all over the South Shore of Nassau County, and the rest of Long Island.
In the lots, courtesy is given to railroad commuters, and all vehicles on display must be street legal. The Chamber asks that no one places lawn chairs in driving lanes or parked spaces, and that drivers restrain from cruising around the lot. There’s no double parking and no alcoholic beverages permitted.
If you’re into cars, or just looking for something different to do on a warm, Friday night, the show has something for everyone. Throughout August, shows are slated for Aug. 9, 16, 23 and 30, and in September, on Sept. 6, 12, and 20. There will be no car show during the 2024 Family Street Festival, which is slated to take place this year from Sept. 26 to 29.
Car shows are open from 6 to 10 p.m.
Spectators can enter of charge. The admission fee for cars is $5. For more information, visit Bellmore Chamber.com.
