Easter Car Parade To Be Gala Event





 

 

Plans are in motion for the Garden City Chamber of Commerce’s 50th annual Easter Sunday Vintage Car Parade to be held on March 27. The parade will step off on Franklin Avenue at Tenth Street. Antique, classic, and special interest cars throughout the metropolitan area are expected to participate in the lineup with the Kiwanis Easter Bunnies in the lead.

Interested spectators are welcome to preview the cars at the staging area in Parking Field 9E between Tenth and Eleventh Streets before the parade, but must park in the field just south of the assembly area – behind 855 Franklin. There will not be an exhibit following the parade, but the Kiwanis Easter Bunnies will distribute lollipops to the youngsters along Seventh Street during the Parade.

The spectacle, which began in 1956, has become a traditional Easter Sunday event, drawing families and vintage car buffs from far and wide. Heading the Chamber committee are parade directors Dr. Gerald Corva (Garden City Chiropractic Center), George Negohisian (Bonaventure Bridal & Tuxedo) and Chris Smalley (Civic Member).

Car owners should note that pre-registration is necessary and will be limited. Please call the Chamber at 746-7724, ext. 101 for information and stay tuned for further details.
