While most Danville kids have already gone back to school, the town is not willing to yet the summer fun end quite yet and will be celebrating the seasons end with its “Hot Summer Sundays Car Show,” this weekend.
In its 24th year the Hot Summer Sundays Car Show will feature hundreds of vehicles ranging from hot rods and classic cars to rare one-of-a-kind collectors and custom designed modern muscle cars from across the Tri-Valley.
In addition to some of the San Ramon Valley’s best show cars, the event will feature live music, vendor booths, local shop owners, restaurateurs, awards for the best collector vehicles and ABC7’s Dan Ashley who will serve as the master of ceremonies.
Awards to be given out include Danville police department’s “Most Wanted” and the the Fire Department’s “Hottest” vehicle.
Vehicles can be registered online prior to the event or the day of showing from 7 to 10 a.m. Onsite registration is based on a first-come-first-serve basis. Registration fees range from $25 to $30, depending on the size and type of car.
Admission is free for all attendees and will be held Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Danville along Hartz and Prospect Avenues.
Road closures for the event will run from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Streets closed include:
* Hartz Avenue between Railroad Avenue and Hartz Way;
* Linda Mesa Avenue between Railroad Avenue and Rose Avenue;
* Diablo Road between Hartz Avenue and Rose Avenue;
* Diablo Road at Front Street, westbound direction;
* Local traffic access only between Front Street and Rose Avenue on Diablo Road and Front Street north to Linda Mesa Avenue;
* Prospect Avenue between the Clock Tower Municipal Parking Lot entrance and Front Street;
* Church Street 50 feet west and east of Hartz Avenue.
Drivers may use Railroad Ave. or Front St. as alternate routes through the downtown area, and to public parking lots, officials said. Following the completion of the car show crews will clean the streets and will reopen all roads no later than 5 p.m.
Officials advise motorists to exercise extra caution due to pedestrian traffic being heavier than usual.
