Hundreds of vehicles on show at annual gathering
Indulge your passion for classic, specialty modern and custom vehicles at the Vancouver Island Motor Gathering at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit in Cowichan on Sunday.
More than 600 cars, trucks and motorcycles turned up at last year’s event, from classic designs to the very fast, and beautiful, exotics.
This is the fifth year of the familyfriendly event, which is open to all makes and models of automobile.
All proceeds from vehicle registrations and donations at the gate will be donated to charity.
This year, the charities include the David Foster Foundation and the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation.
Last year, the event raised more than $153,000 in cash and $175,000 in in-kind donations for the two charities.
Registered vehicles can be entered in both judged and non-judged categories.
There are 18 award categories, including Fan Favourite, which is voted for by visitors on the day.
The event is hosted by GAIN, a company that has several car dealerships, a resort and a motorsport circuit.
Admission is by donation (suggested $5). Gates open for spectators at 11 a.m., food court at 11:30 a.m.
The Fan Favourite and Best Car Club awards take place at 1:50 p.m. followed by presentations at 2 p.m.
The event is at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit, 4063 Cowichan Valley Hwy., Cowichan.
