St. Catharines Downtown Association

Mark your calendars: Saturday July 10 - 2010

Downtown St. Catharines will play host to the 8th Annual Downtown Classic Car Show and the 3rd Annual Fiddle Fest.

The main streets will be filled with hundreds of classic cars and a fiddle and step dancing competition will be taking place throughout the entire day on the lower end of St. Paul Street.

The Fiddle Fest will be happening in front of Silver Spire Church at 366 St. Paul Street, and the church will be hosting a BBQ, offering food and refreshments .

In addition to the many great fiddlers and step dancers that will be competing on the day of the show, the popular young rock groups, The Golden Hammers & The Rockin' Daisies, will also be making an appearance.

Draws and prize giveaways will be happening throughout the day from the Fiddle Fest stage.

The Fiddle Fest combined with the Classic Car Show makes for a very exciting and busy day in Downtown St. Catharines. Over 5000 people attended last year, and we hope to have even more this year. This will be a fun filled, free day for all ages.
