When: Sunday from 8:30am to 2:30pm

Where: Hyannis Main Street

Why Go: In addition to the car display, various crafters will exhibit both the day of the car show as well as the prior day, Saturday, June 16th on the Hyannis Village Green.  There will be entertainment for the kids including a magician, balloons, cartoon artists, stilt walkers and a kids’ arts and crafts table. 

More than 300 cars will line both sides of Main Street, Hyannis which, for the show, will become a pedestrian-only thoroughfare.  In years past, the show has been a huge draw and this year Barnstable Police estimate that crowds could top 60,000.  Such attendance would make this year’s show one of New England’s best-attended family events.  The show is free to spectators and a great family day of fun.
