The event is free and open to the public, and all classic car enthusiasts are encouraged to come out to see their favorite cars. The car show will conclude with a free outdoor performance by the Navy’s premier jazz ensemble, the U.S. Navy Band Commodores, who have performed across America for over 50 years.

Individuals and car groups interested in entering their vehicles (1979 or earlier) before Friday, May 5, at 4 p.m. Vehicle registration is free, but space is limited.

The Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the event day. All visitors to the car show can visit the Museum, have lunch at Tun Tavern or Devil Dog Diner, visit the Museum Gift Shop, and watch the signature film We, the Marines on the Giant Screen in the Medal of Honor Theater.
