Annual British Car Day on the way to Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Oakville

For 40 years, the British Car Day has been held annually at Bronte Creek Provincial Park on the border of Oakville and Burlington.

This year’s event is Sunday, Sept. 15, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the traditional third Sunday of the month.

Since its inaugural event in 1984, the show has grown in leaps and bounds and now draws more than 1,000 British cars and 9,000 spectators.

British Car Day is open to vintage, classic and current British-manufactured vehicles, including motorcycles.

The event is the largest, one-day, all-British car event in North America, with car owners and visitors travelling from Ontario, the northeast United States, the Maritime provinces, Quebec and Manitoba.

Over the years, there have even been visitors from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Texas, the UK, and New Zealand.

One of the most popular parts of the show is the Vendor Village area. More than 50 British-related vendors offer their new and used goods for sale, including car parts, complete cars, t-shirts, hats, tools, books, and supplies.

Many vendors offer end-of-season specials, so there are lots of bargains to be had and great food is available from the many food vendors on site.
