Selbyville Old Timers’ Day car show and family fest returns June 17

The 66th Annual Old Timers’ Day Classic Car Show and Family Festival is coming to Selbyville from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, June 17. The event is hosted by the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Selbyville, and presented by Bunting & Murray Construction Corporation.

A family-friendly affair, Old Timers’ Day will include classic cars from multiple decades as far back as the 1920s, tunes from DJ Brian K. Hall sponsored by the Bank of Ocean City, food vendors, children's activities, an outdoor beer garden, live music from Glass Onion Band sponsored by Mountaire Farms, local artisans, historic walking tour and a community yard sale benefiting the Selbyville Public Library.

Once again, the Old Timers’ Day event will feature a pop-up beer garden sponsored by Banks Wines & Spirits. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., patrons can enjoy some beer and look at all of the beautiful vehicles on display.

Funny Farm Petting will be on-site with goats, sheep, pigs, alpacas and pony rides. Salem United Methodist Church will host a number of carnival games, along with inflatables. Attendees can enjoy a fire truck ride courtesy of the Selbyville Volunteer Fire Company.

This year, the festival will feature all sorts of new attractions. Visitors can browse the works of local artisans along Church Street and do some shopping at the community yard sale. Proceeds from the community yard sale will support the Selbyville library.

Guests can take a stroll through town and experience the historic walking tour. Sponsored by Northwestern Mutual, tours include the historic Townsend House (current location at the Selbyville Public Library), Salem United Methodist Church, Bishop Hastings Funeral Home and the Selbyville Railroad Museum, with more stops in between.

“Locals, visitors, families and car enthusiasts alike have spent the Saturday of Father’s Day weekend in downtown Selbyville, and we love having the opportunity to highlight the town,” said Lauren Weaver, chamber executive director. “Guests find our inland towns to be charming and family-friendly. The classic cars and trucks are a blast from the past.”

Vehicle entry into the car show is $10, and the first 100 registrants receive a commemorative event gift. Judges will evaluate the interior, exterior and engine compartment of each vehicle, with prizes awarded for each category by decade, as well as cash prizes for people’s choice and best of show sponsored by the West Fenwick Car Wash.
