The Hagley Car Show brings together hundreds of antique and restored cars for what has been called “The Best Car Show in Delaware!”  This year’s show includes more than 500 cars from the early 1900s through the late 1990s.

The theme for Hagley's 2025 Car Show is: Pony Cars
Compact, sporty, highly-styled coupés or convertibles.

Three special “feature fields” highlight dozens of cars celebrating this year’s theme.

The Car Show also includes a vehicle parade, motoring music, and food trucks in Hagley’s park-like setting.

While at the Car Show, stop by the exhibition Du Ponts Down the Road in the 1844 Hagley Barn. The exhibition features historic vehicles created from 1890 to 1941 and ranging from a horse-drawn carriage to an early electric car to a WWII Era Indian Motorcycle—all owned and used by members of the du Pont family. Highlights of the new exhibition include a 1918 Cadillac and a 1928 DuPont Motors Model G Phaeton.

Proceeds from the Hagley Car Show support Hagley Museum and Library, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, in fulfilling its mission to “inspire all people to be innovative in their own lives.”

Dogs are not permitted at this event...sorry!
