2023 event

The event will be held from 12-4.30pm at the West End car park, located opposite the Allingham Hotel.

One of the event organisers is Daimon Fergus, also Bundoran RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager. Speaking as preparations get into full swing, he said: `We’re already seeing lots of interest in our show for this year from our own members in Donegal and from enthusiasts across Ireland. Over the years, the event has donated thousands of euros to the local community, and we are grateful to the Donegal Vintage and Classic Car Club for establishing the event and doing so much for the local community.'

The Vintage Car Show promises to be a day filled with stunning classic cars, each with its own unique story and history. It’s a perfect outing for families, car enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of vintage automobiles.

Anyone who wishes to have a place in the main event area in the West End Car Park to prebook by calling 0851507860 and arriving early to ensure their space. We will be accepting cars from 10am on the day and are expecting the car park to fill up quickly.
