Car Show with Live Music and Food

The Heritage at Shalimar Gardens in Fremont is set to host its fourth annual car and bike show on Friday, April 24, with live music and food for sale. (article.wn.com) The Fremont Tribune’s April 12 report said people can show off a car or motorcycle at the event, and that grilled food and drinks from a bar will be available for purchase. The story described the gathering as family-friendly and open to the community. (article.wn.com) The show is tied to The Heritage at Shalimar Gardens, a senior living community at 749 E. 29th St. in Fremont that offers assisted living and memory care. Heritage Communities says the site regularly hosts activities for residents and families. (heritage-communities.com) The event builds on a recent run of spring car shows at the same location. The Fremont & Dodge County Convention and Visitors Bureau listed a Shalimar Gardens Car & Bike Show on April 27, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (visitfremontne.org) That history helps explain the “fourth annual” label in this year’s coverage. A Facebook event page shows the first Shalimar Gardens car and bike show was held April 29, 2023, with a $20 preregistration fee per vehicle and one free meal per entry. (facebook.com) Fremont already has larger summer car events, including Kennedy’s Cruisers on Main during John C. Fremont Days, which also features beer gardens, food vendors and live music. The Shalimar Gardens show is smaller and lands earlier in the year, at a senior living campus instead of downtown. (johncfremontdays.org) For Shalimar Gardens, the car show doubles as a public event and a way to bring outside visitors onto the campus. Heritage Communities says family events and social programming are part of daily life at the Fremont property. (heritage-communities.com) So the draw this week is not just chrome and custom paint. It is a spring community event at a care campus that has turned a car-and-bike show into an annual stop on Fremont’s local calendar. (article.wn.com)
