Hey there! Looking for a fun way to celebrate Father’s Day with Dad? I found a great article from McEnearney Associates that’s got you covered! It’s all about the Sully Antique Car Show in Chantilly, Virginia, and it sounds like a blast for any car-loving dad (or honestly, anyone who enjoys a cool day out).
The article talks about the 43rd annual show, which happened back on June 19, 2016, but it gives a solid vibe of what to expect. Picture this: over 400 vintage cars, from shiny chrome classics to roaring V-8s, spread across the Sully Historic Site. Dad can geek out over the history of American autos, stroll through a Car Corral to maybe even find his dream ride, or hunt for treasures at a flea market with over 50 vendors selling car accessories, crafts, and Father’s Day goodies. There’s also a photo exhibit tracing the evolution of cars—perfect for sparking some nostalgic chats with Dad.
To keep things lively, the event had live music from local bands like Jumpin’ Jupiter and The Andrew Acosta Band, plus lunch options to refuel. It ran from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., making it a chill way to spend the day. The article really paints it as a mix of history, fun, and family time, which sounds like a win for Father’s Day.
Now, this article is from 2016, so if you’re planning for this year’s show on June 15, 2025, check out the Fairfax County Park Authority’s site for the latest details on the 50th annual event. They’re promising hundreds of antique cars, judged competitions, food, music, and even a kids’ tent, so it’s still a solid bet for a memorable day with Dad.
