Festival of Speed & Style
Fast cars, local fashion and fundraising will converge again in Old Town on Labor Day weekend.
Dozens of classic cars, including a 1962 Ferrari 250 and a 1970 Ford Pantera, will line the streets of Old Town on June 7 as part of the second annual Old Town Festival of Speed & Style. Alongside the cars, models from the Old Town Boutique District will showcase the latest local trends in a fashion demonstration, matching stylish fashion with the elegance of the cars.
The community-focused event, which drew thousands of people last year, will raise money for ALIVE! here in Alexandria and for the USO Metro Washington-Baltimore. ALIVE! is a non-profit that provides emergency food and services for Alexandria families. The USO serves military service members and their families.
It all comes together thanks to car-enthusiast volunteers and other members from the community. The Festival benefits local businesses and the community, and generates widespread visibility for Alexandria. (Reports are that some ice cream shops did so much business that they ran out of some flavors during last year’s festival.)
Sponsorships and Car Registration for the event and more information are available through www.festivalspeedstylealex.com.
The event was originally scheduled for June, but it was moved to early September due to coronavirus concerns.
