#PVGP Downtown Car Show & Parade

The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix hosts a parade and car display in downtown Pittsburgh. We are happy to announce that UBS will sponsor our 2011 show. If you work Downtown, Wednesday of Race Week is a great day to take a long lunch break.

Nestled among the skyscrapers several of downtown’s most prominent addresses open their courtyards for a sparkling preview of the upcoming weekend’s shows and races. Parade.

The  car show starts with a parade into Pittsburgh. The parade has a new starting point in 2011 as it will be staged from the Spaghetti Warehouse Restaurant on 26th Street in the strip district. 

Please arrive as close as possible to 8:00 AM to ensure your space in the parade. Due to an ever growing interest, no reserved parade spaces are available except for sponsor vehicles. Parade participation is restricted to antique, classic or race cars. 

Registration Opens   8:00 AM

Parade Stages:         9:00 – 10:00 AM

Parade Departs:       10:30 AM

Cars Displayed:        11:00 AM - 2:00 PM  

The Parade Lap enters the city at 10:45 AM and thunders through the streets, dropping off cars at four locations:

• USX Plaza
• PPG Place
• Market Square 

DJ Kelli Burns is appearing at our Market Square Car Show, providing musical entertainment during all afternoon.

The event is free to the public, but space is limited for show cars. Many thanks to the City of Pittsburgh and the plazas that host our car shows - we appreciate their generosity.
