Galway Racecourse will be jam-packed this weekend, but with horses of a different kind. There will be tens of thousands of horsepower on display as classic and vintage cars, tractors, motorcycles, commercials and even steam engines converge from the 32 counties of Ireland to be part of Classic Fest 2023. Back for a second year following its instant success last year, Classic Fest has already become a must-attend show for lovers of all things vintage and classic. Over 25 classic car clubs are travelling to the event from Donegal to Cork and Kerry to Carlow, so almost every county will be represented in Galway Racecourse this Sunday.
With only a few days to go before the gates of Galway Racecourse open to welcome hundreds of vintage and classic cars, tractors, motorbikes, steam engines and much more, it already promises to be the biggest show held in Ireland in 2022. So far there are over twenty vintage and classic clubs from all over Ireland registered to display – as well as the local Western Veteran & Vintage Motor Club and Kiltulla & District Vintage Club, there are clubs travelling from as far away as Carlow, Limerick, Kilkenny, Dublin, Meath, Louth and Donegal. Making the trip west for Classic Fest, these clubs will bring with them an array of cars and exhibits, including displays of individual marques like the Ford Cortina, Jaguar, Ford Capri, Toyota, TVR as well as the Mercedes-Benz Club, who have the largest stand space reserved for fifty cars.
