Chatham Retrofest Weekend May 22-23/26 


It is that time again. Our Annual Retrofest takes place this weekend Friday May 22 to Saturday May 23/26. The history of this great event, celebrated in Chatham-Kent, dates back to 2001 now in its 25th year. If you have never attended, it is a fun weekend for the whole family. Classic Cars, fun, vendors and food.
All this topped off  with a Fire Works Display  on Saturday evening in Tecumseh Park.
 
Friday May 22nd. Tecumseh Park opens from 3 P.M. to 11 P.M. with vendors, food trucks, a kids zone and live entertainment from 3:30 until 11 P.M. 
From 4-8 P.M. there is a parking lot party behind the Retro Suites Hotel. Drop by and view the Classic Cars which will line King St. on Saturday from 10 A.M. -4 P.M. Many will 'cruise the drag'  after the party, giving you a great view if you are on King St. It is quite a sight to see them cruising along like the old days.
