Essex Police Department Announces Return of Car Show After Two Years
The Essex Police Department is pleased to announce the return of its antique car show after a two-year hiatus.
The show will be held on Sunday, Sept. 11, from 1-4 p.m., in the municipal lot at 24 Martin St. The rain date is Sunday, Sept. 18, also from 1-4 p.m.
Classic, antique, muscle, and special interest cars, and trucks and motorcycles are welcome to enter. There is no fee to enter a vehicle. Attendees of all ages are welcome.
The car show could not be held in the last two years, due to COVID-19 in 2020 and the demolition of the Department’s former station in 2021. This year, the Department is excited to bring back this tradition.
“The Car Show has been a highlight of the Department’s year, so we are excited to bring back this tradition,” Chief Francis said. “We look forward to seeing everyone there, and wish to thank our sponsor Brookline Bank.”
Those who would like more information are asked to contact Officer James Romeos at 978-768-6200, ext. 5006, or by email at jromeos@essexma.org.
