The Coatesville Invitational Vintage Grand Prix is a unique event where spectators experience the sights and sounds of historically significant cars and motorcycles, racing through the city streets of Coatesville.
The weekend kicks off on Thursday September 14th, 2023 with the return of the Grand PRIXview Party. See a display of vintage vehicles, meet the drivers, rub elbows with sponsors and enjoy refreshments under the stars at historic Brooklawn, located among the rolling hills of Unionville, just 15 minutes from downtown Coatesville.
For 2023, we also welcome back the popular Friday Cruise-In event featuring vintage cars, trucks and special interest vehicles. From 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the public is invited to cruise in their hot rods, classic and restored cars and can park their vehicles on Lincoln Highway between 1st and 5th streets where spectators can get an up-close look. This is free to spectators and there is no entry fee or registration for participants; however, all vehicles must be licensed.
The main event begins Saturday morning, September 16th, featuring classic cars and motorcycles, from the early 1900's through the early 80's, following a 2.2 mile course throughout the city. Local vendors, food and beverage trucks, and a VIP AREA add to the day's entertainment.
Proceeds from the event go to a designated Coatesville Community project each year. Stay tuned for more details!
