Antique Car Run

The 38th annual New London to New Brighton Antique Car Run is coming up on Saturday, August 10th, with a stop at Trinity Lutheran Church in Grove City at 8 a.m. and at Central Park in Litchfield at 9 a.m. There will be a parade of the cars in New London on Friday, August 9th at 5 p.m.

Forty-three cars are registered for this year’s event and the cars must not be newer than 1912. Organizers have changed the last half of the route in order to avoid the traffic of Minneapolis and its suburbs with a stop in Anoka. The cars will end up at Long Lake Park in New Brighton.

Prior to the big event on Saturday, the drivers will attend events in Paynesville on Wednesday, Willmar on Thursday and around Green Lake on Friday. The cars will be parading through New London at 5 o’clock Friday afternoon, followed by a meal at the New London American Legion.

Stops on Saturday will include Grove City at 8 a.m. and Litchfield around 9 a.m., followed by a stop in Kingston from 10 a.m. to noon in the Community Center for BBQs, sweet corn and root beer floats. For more details, go to antiquecarrun.org.
