The Swigart Museum Car Show is held on the first weekend in August annually and is sponsored by the Allegheny Mountain Region AACA along the William E. Swigart, Jr. Automobile Museum.

Festivities start on Friday evening with a time of hospitality with the museum staff and other registered guest. Light refreshments are always served to celebrate the kickoff event.

On Saturday morning the spectacular cars start to arrive to the display area in the front and side yards along Rt. 22 along with the Kars and Koffee Kruisers. The paved area is reserved for registration, the MC tent and spectators to gather.

The attendees are treated throughout the day by music, raffles, a booth with cold soda and water, and the ability to tour the museum.

Lunch is available on premises for registered car show attendees with advance reservations. There are also lunch options from local restaurants, and local food delivery services.

This is a rain or shine event, but we always hope for beautiful sunshine and pleasant temperatures all day. There is always a tent selling tickets for the raffles including baskets, locally donated items and gift cards from businesses, and 50/50 tickets. The baskets are provided by some of the board members, some local merchants donate some great chance items. Many door prizes are given throughout the day. There is always a banquet following the event for all who wish to attend with advance reservations.

Awards and recognitions are given in the afternoon
