Carolina Classics at the Capital to Feature Southeast's Largest Indoor Car Show
Plus Hundreds of Classic Cars on Display on Raleigh's Historic Fayetteville Street
RALEIGH, NC, June 18, 2010 /Automotive PR News/ -- This August, Raleigh will be revving with excitement as the Carolina Classics at the Capital (www.classicsatthecapital.com) brings the Southeast's largest indoor car show to the Raleigh Convention Center. This family-friendly event running Friday, Aug. 20 to Sunday, Aug. 22 will feature hundreds of custom and classic automobiles, more than 100 vendors, car exhibitions on historic Fayetteville Street, a KidsZone with inflatable attractions, and prizes awarded by Southern Classic Cars NC Inc.
Top vendors already committed to the Carolina Classics at the Capital include Danchuk Manufacturing, Pypes Performance Exhaust, and Northern Tool and Equipment, to name a few. Many of the Southeast's premier classic cars will also be featured in both indoor and outdoor venues.
"As car enthusiasts ourselves, we wanted to make this a memorable event not only for participants but for exhibitors as well," said Greg Cox, one of the event's organizers. "We hope this family-friendly event will become an annual tradition on the auto show circuit."
Downtown Raleigh is vibrant, eclectic and safe. Over 100 restaurants span the spectrum from fine dining to casual take-out, and more than 1,000 hotel rooms are within walking distance of Fayetteville Street. Downtown also has numerous museums and cultural attractions, including a brand new outdoor amphitheater.
The newly renovated Raleigh Convention Center features first-class amenities like state-of-the-art sound and lights, digital connectivity and 12 loading docks. In all, 150,000 square feet of indoor space will be available to exhibitors throughout the three-day event.
With no charge for viewing up to 600 classic cars that will be parked on the closed-off Fayetteville Street, plus just $10 for attendees to see 100-plus show cars and more than 100 vendors inside the Convention Center, this first-of-its-kind event is expected to attract more than 50,000 attendees. The festivities will culminate with an awards ceremony on Sunday, Aug. 22 at 1 p.m. on the Fayetteville Street Stage, with awards for Top 50, Sweet 16 and the Sir Walter Raleigh Cup.
Vendor display spaces inside the Convention Center range from $100 to $200 per space and will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Indoor car display spaces are only $125 for all three days. Outdoor spaces are just $80 for all three days or $30 for one day (per availability).
