Timeless Fun

The Antique Car Parade, which launched the entire Festival more than a half-century ago, begins at 2:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of the Festival. More than 100 vintage cars traditionally take part in the processional, which begins at Bedford Area High School, proceeds along John Street to Thomas Street to Pitt Street to Richard Street, and then ends on Penn Street, with the exception of the lead trolley and cars which transport the Queen Contestants to the Bedford County Courthouse.
