The story

Atlantic Highlands Classic Car Show in Atlantic Highlands

The Atlantic Highlands Classic Car Show is an annual one-day gathering of vintage, antique, muscle, and custom vehicles organized by the Atlantic Highlands Chamber of Commerce in this small Monmouth County harbor town. Held on a Saturday each June, the show lines First Avenue's business district with more than a hundred cars, alongside vendors, food trucks, live music, and a full trophy presentation for owners in multiple categories.

It is a modest regional row with official municipal identity and visitor appeal.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The show's charm lies in its setting: rather than a fairground or parking lot, well over a hundred classic, antique, muscle, import, and hot rod vehicles line the sidewalks of Atlantic Highlands' walkable downtown business district, turning a stroll past the town's shops, cafes, and restaurants into an impromptu car museum

02

The mystery stays covered

Organized entirely by the volunteer-run Atlantic Highlands Chamber of Commerce, the show channels proceeds toward chamber programming and awards trophies across more than a dozen judged categories, giving both weekend collectors and serious restorers a reason to compete

03

The city starts moving

Its scale has grown steadily since it began in the early 2010s, and it now draws spectators from across the Jersey Shore to this small harbor town on Sandy Hook Bay
