2009 Calendar of events




2009 Calendar

With the good weather ALMOST upon us, the calendar is starting to fill up with all sorts of automotive gathering goodness. For those of you in the New England area, here's some of the happenings:

April 25: BAMG Drive To Riley's (rain date May 16)

June 7: British Car Day at Larz Anderson Museum, Brookline, MA
A very cool day, usually has great turnout, and a huge variety of cars from McLaren F1's to rusty MG's

June 13: Faneuil Hall Show #1
(not a show you can Drive your car to, but one anyone can attend for free, its an invite only event for the cars)

July 12: Bay State Antique Auto Club Annual Show, Endicott Estate, Dedham MA

July 18: Faneuil Hall Show #2
(not a show you can Drive your car to, but one anyone can attend for free, its an invite only event for the cars)

July 24-26: Prince Edward Island show
it's now called the PEI International Motoring Festival, it's been shortened a bit from what it used to be, but should be interesting, plus the roads in PEI are fun, ocean on one side, rolling hills on the other!

August 15: MG/Rover Day at Larz Anderson Museum, Brookline, MA
if you have a MG or rover you should attend. Last year attendance was so low, they're thinking of cancelling it or merging it with another car day. It's on a Saturday so tell your wife that you'll mow the lawn when you get home.

August 29: Faneuil Hall Show #3
(not a show you can Drive your car to, but one anyone can attend for free, its an invite only event for the cars)

September 5-6: Falmouth Dream Cruise By The Sea, Cape Cod

September 13: 28th Annual British Motorcar Gathering and Picnic, CT Triumph Register, Manchester, CT

September 18-20: British Invasion, Stowe, VT
This is supposed to be a real big bash, I'm thinking of going this year myself

October 2-4: British Legends Weekend, Cape Cod

October 10: BAMG Edaville Car Show
Usually it's the last show of the year, but it's always a blast, and a really cool location. Stuff for the kids, and usually lots of arts and crafts stuff for the wives to check out.

Cruise Nights:
The following events aren't officially sanctioned, but I have to say if you like cool cars I highly suggest stopping by one of these in your travels for a bit.

Every Sunday: Schoolhouse Ice-cream from 2pm-whenever

Every Saturday: 3 to 8 p.m. Cruise Night at Riley's Roast Beef, 911 Edgell Road, Framingham

Every Wednesday after 5:00, Cruise Night at Bill & Bob's Roast Beef, Woburn MA
