Car lovers can watch more than 300 vintage vehicles parade down the Ocean City Boardwalk at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 26.
The procession will cap off the 66th annual Dave Blyler and Herb Godfrey Memorial Antique and Classic Auto Show and Parade.
Before the parade, the antique cars – all at least 25 years old – will be on display on the grounds of the Ocean City Tabernacle at 550 Wesley Avenue from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The show offers a great opportunity to shop the downtown or take a break from beach and Boardwalk fun to check out these classic cars. Visit

Tickets are still available for a June 28 concert featuring Judy Collins with special guest Richard Thompson.
The show is part of the 2021 Summer Concert Series on the Ocean City Music Pier, which opened on Monday with a sold-out performance by Led Zeppelin tribute band Get the Led Out.
Legendary singer-songwriter Judy Collins has lent her iconic voice to an impressive range of genres over her five-decade career – from her beloved folk work to acclaimed forays into rock and show tunes.
Richard Thompson is the opening act. He first gained prominence in the late 1960s as the lead guitarist and songwriter for the folk rock group Fairport Convention.
