The Oregon Garden 7th Annual Car Show

Car lovers will want to make a detour to The Oregon Garden on Sunday, August 25 from 10 am to 4 pm, when the garden will share its 80 acres of botanical wonders with valuable classic and custom automobiles from private collectors throughout the Northwest. The 7th annual Car Show at The Oregon Garden will feature cars displayed throughout the Garden, live music, beer, wine, food and a 50/50 raffle.

Admission to the car show is included with Garden admission, and free to members of The Oregon Garden. Garden admission is $11 for adults, $9 for seniors ages 60+, $8 for students ages 12 to 17, $5 for children ages 5 to 11, and free to children ages 4 and under.

Exhibited entirely outdoors, the automobiles will greet visitors as they meander along the garden paths. Automobile owners will be on hand to answer questions while guests enjoy music, beer and food. Exhibitors will be honored with awards including best vehicle of each decade, best of each make, and Best in Show as voted on by spectators. Awards will be presented at 3:30 pm in the Silverton Market Garden. The lineup of cars will appeal to fans from all eras.

There will be a DJ onsite with music from Noon to 2 pm, and the classic rock and roll band JT & The Tourists will play from 2 to 3:30 pm. Other activities during the event include a 50/50 raffle where a lucky participant will win half the kitty.
