The Sarasota Firefighters Benevolent Fund is the primary coordinator of the show, planned and staff strictly by volunteers, proceeds go directly to our organization, please visit SFFBF.org for more information.

The Sunshine region AACA car club has retained staffing of the “car coral”.

No, there is no registration process or fee to show your car... Just show up, show off and have a good time!

Show cars will never be charged an entry fee (donations appreciated of course)

There is a $5 entry donation for spectators, kids under 10 are free.

There is a tremendous amount of logistics and planning that go into a show of this size, January a very “unpredictable” month in regards to weather.

April is a more “stable” and predictable time of the year  (any of us that have attended the show over the years can remember many dreary, rainy, and cold January Sundays)

This has been a standing rule of the show for many years, we are dedicated to uphold that tradition, and many organizations define an “antique” as 25 years old.

8:30 AM, (earlier if possible)

 The show is primarily staffed by firefighters and our shift change is at 8AM, 2 thirds of our work force is at the fire house until close to 8AM.

You’re welcome to show up earlier, but the gates won’t be open until 8:30.

Pompano AV.

If traveling west on Fruitville, you will turn into the main entrance, then left at the arena building, right on Pompano, if traveling east on Fruitville right, directly on Pompano Av.  (see map)

Yes, of course as long as it replicates an actual car that is older than 25 years (AC Cobra, Auburn, Porsche speedster, Model A, MG, etc).

Yes, of course, as long as you arrive together, we will have a dedicated staging area adjacent to the show car entrance to wait for others, just make sure you let the parking attendants know your together (especially large groups) so you are not separated, “saving spots” will not be permitted.

Since we do not require any show cars to register it would be impossible to predict how many spots for a given car type we would need.

Many clubs will coordinate to arrive as a group, we will park everyone together as a group, just let a parking attendant know.

Yes, there is a grass field adjacent / south of the show car entrance (Pompano Av.) for trailer parking, loading / unloading.

Yes of course, however there will be several quality food vendors in attendance, we also sell draft beer.

Outside alcoholic beverages strictly prohibited.

Glass bottles (of anything) prohibited.

There is no registration, judging or prizes at this show, please see the event history for more information.

At this time there is no “host hotel”, but we are working on it.

There are several quality hotels near the show grounds we can recommend, especially in the downtown / bay front area.

No it's a car show.

Personal mobility chairs / scooters are welcome.

Yes, well behaved dogs on a leash are welcome, you will need be prepared to “pick up” after them.

If they are prone to “leg lifting”, you’ll need to keep them away from show car tires!

Yes, there is handicapped parking in the main paved lot directly in front of the arena.
