ROLLING SCULPTURE CAR SHOW

Ann Arborites flocked to the downtown area to check out the return of hot rods and classic cars.

ANN ARBOR, MI -- From Cadillacs and Thunderbirds to Ford Mustangs and Volkswagens, an upcoming Ann Arbor car show will have it all. The Rolling Sculpture Car Show, hosted by the Main Street Association, is returning for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, gathering more than 200 antique and classic cars in downtown Ann Arbor. The show, on Main, Liberty and Washington streets, is open from 2 to 10 p.m., Friday, July 15. The Ann Arbor District Library also is hosting family activities on East Liberty Street. “We’ll have a table set up with button makers for people to make custom buttons, sidewalk chalk, and tons of AADL Summer Game stuff, plus a Summer Game code,” Rich Retyi, the library’s marketing manager, said in an email.

Hosted by Main Street Ann Arbor, the free event was canceled in 2020 and again in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of volunteers.

The annual Rolling Sculpture Car Show has been canceled, according to the event website.
