Antique and Classic Car Parade

Calling all car lovers! Be sure to check out the Annual Hamilton-Fairfield Antique and Classic Car Parade. The parade – one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the country – tours from the staging area in Fairfield to downtown Hamilton for a car show and presentation of trophies.

Parade car check-in will be begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Walmart Supercenter, 1505 Main St. All Parade participants will receive Commemorative Plaques. Over 300 parade cars are expected. Judging will take place between 9:30 and 11:30.

Please NO TENTS or POP-UP ENCLOSURES on ANY of the parade staging sites or stop sites.

The parade to Fairfield will start promptly at 1:00 p.m. The Fairfield stop will be at Fairfield Crossings, Rt-4 and Symmes Rd. The parade will then proceed to Downtown Hamilton at 2:30. Presentation of awards will begin at 3:30. Public viewing of cars at all three locations is free to the public, and restrooms will be available.

We urge you to preregister your parade car, which is free if it is received by July 22nd. Registration the day of the parade will delay check-in and there is a $10.00 fee, so please preregister.

And these cars are something to see! All parade cars must be in prime condition, originals, and unmodified with no aftermarket wheels. This long-standing event is presented by the Antique and Classic Car Club of Butler County, an organization dedicated to preserving the splendor of the majestic older automobile.

The parade of more than 300 vehicles is routed from Hamilton through Fairfield for a public viewing stop before terminating back in downtown Hamilton for a car show and trophy awards. Entertainment is provided by the Fort Hamilton Jazz Band.
