Setup is planned to begin at 11:00 A.M. The car show will take place 12:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M. on each date. Cleanup will take place immediately after the event.
Al’s Auto Show was founded with the vision of bringing families and communities together through a positive, inclusive event that celebrates a shared passion for automobiles. Organizers note the event is more than a car show, it is a community gathering designed to provide an enjoyable experience for people of all ages.
Organizers are working on specific event components. All event logistics will adhere to Village guidelines and be reviewed and approved by the Village in advance of the event including participant parking, event security, Police and or Community Service Officer Requirements, Village permits and fees.

Organizers will be subject to all permit, staffing and rental fees applicable to the production of this event.
