Did you ever ask yourself why classic cars, firetrucks or old motorcycles attract so much children’s attention? Why does the sight of an old car bring a tear to the eye of an elder gentlemen? It’s because these objects transmit emotions, through colors, forms and noises, or simply they remind you of the good old times, your first love or your daddy’s car. This is why we would like to welcome everybody to experience emotions across generations at this event.
Owners of classic cars, motorcycles, trucks and agricultural vehicles built before 1977, are welcome to bring their vehicle and are allowed to access the closed exhibition area in the heart of Bellinzona. Participation fee for vehicles is CHF 5.- This includes a free drink and the participation at the concours “best of show” during the day.
The unique scenario of Piazza del Sole with its impressive Castelgrande is the perfect frame to our event. Let yourself inspired by the beauty. Enjoy the bright colors, remember the smell and listen to the unique noises of the vehicles that made the history of our mobility during the last century.
At our event you will be able to match these impressions with the music of past decades, remembering your favorite tune. Plus, you will have the possibility to enjoy, with your family and friends, drinks and food in order to be fully satisfied and live for a moment in a timeless zone.
