Toledo Memorial Park’s Annual Car Show is FREE Family Fun
This event and others show the Park’s commitment to the community
Sylvania, OH—Head on out to Toledo Memorial Park (the Park) on Aug. 20, 2023, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. for the annual car show. This special event benefits the Wreaths Across America program, led locally by your team at the Park.
“The car show has been a staple at the Park for more than a decade and might be my favorite day of the summer,” said Mel Harbaugh, local coordinator of Wreaths Across America. “It’s such a great way to celebrate our wonderful Sylvania community while giving back to those who served our country.”
The annual event sees more than one thousand visitors and puts approximately three to four hundred interesting, unique and classic cars on display. Festivities include food trucks, 50/50 drawing, door prizes (including a 36” BlackStone Grill) and more.
“Being a part of a community like Sylvania is very special,” said Jeff Clegg, president of Toledo Memorial Park. “We are deeply invested in helping Sylvania maintain a reputation as such a desirable place to live. We are passionate about making valuable connections with the school system, local nonprofits, supporting community events presented by the city and Red Bird District, and so much more.”
