Friday, July 13 is Collector Car Appreciation Day.

The annual event is designed to raise awareness of the vital role automotive restoration and collection plays in American society. You’re encouraged to get out and show off your collector car, and you’ve got plenty of chances thanks, in part, to a full schedule of Collector Car Appreciation Day-related events! See what might be going on in your area by scrolling through this list of events, courtesy of SEMA. It’s alphabetical by state and several pages long, so be sure to scroll through to your state.

Get out, enjoy, and celebrate your hobby!
