Father's Day Car Show

June 21 | 9am-3pm

Start your engines for one of the region’s most beloved Father’s Day traditions at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens!

This year’s theme “A Century of Mopar”, celebrates the legacy of iconic muscle cars and automotive power through the decades. Car enthusiasts will enjoy an impressive lineup of classic and specialty vehicles on the Great Meadow, plus exciting new additions including a Touch-A-Truck experience with the City of Akron. 

Two genuine Hollywood movie cars will be on display, chosen in the spirit of Ohio Goes to the Movies, a Signature Event of America 250-Ohio and this year's Mopar theme. We'll have the Nash Bridges Hero Car-1971 Plymouth 'Cuda, and the Fast & Furious 1973 Plymouth 'Cuda from Furious 7 on display right in front of the Manor House!

Included with your admission is access to our America 250 exhibition, The Families That Built Akron, offering a powerful look at the people and industries that shaped our region’s history.

From horsepower to history, this is a full day of family-friendly fun you won’t want to miss!
