Perkasie Borough is delighted to announce the return of their annual Under the Stars Car Show, scheduled for 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday at Perkasie Town Center at N. 7th and West Market streets. In a special tribute to our local heroes, the event will honor our first responders with a powerful engine revving ceremony at 7 p.m.
Now in its 25th year, “Under the Stars” is one of the region’s premier car shows. Presented this year by Perkasie Borough in partnership with Perkasie’s garages and local businesses, Perkasie’s historic downtown streets will play host to almost 500 classic, vintage and custom vehicles, and the show attracts 4,000-plus visitors from across the region. The full color art poster, show T-shirts and this year’s commemorative dash plaque features the 2024 Mayor’s Choice winner, a 1932 Chevrolet Cabriolet.
Perkasie’s Ragtops & Roadsters and the Perkasie Historical Society will stage “Cars from Afar,” a special exhibit featuring unique automobiles from all over the world, on W. Walnut St. Visitors will enjoy live music, food trucks, exhibitors and kids’ crafts Exhibitors at the Cars from Afar show will be presented with winner and two runner-up trophies in classes: Best British Car, Best Italian Car, Best German Car, Best Japanese Car and Best of Show.
Exhibitor registration for both the Main Show and Cars from Afar is open at www.perkasierec.com. Advance registration costs $15 and is open until 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Day of show registration costs $25.
Exhibitors at the main show are vying for seven main show trophies, five sponsor trophies and 50 vehicles will win Top 50 plaques. Commemorative dash plaques are included in event goody bags for the first 400 vehicles at the show. True to tradition, the winner of the 2024 Mayor’s Choice award will be pictured on the promotional materials and commemorative dash plaques for next year’s show.
There is no fee for spectators at the show and visitors will find vendors, food trucks, period music and shopping and dining specials from Perkasie’s small businesses.
