The 15th Annual KIDSAFE CT Jerry Bundy Car Show is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine, at the Tolland County Agricultural Center in Vernon, Conn. Gates open at 9 a.m., judging ends at noon, and a parade and awards ceremony are set for 1 p.m.
The event benefits The Village for Families & Children and its KIDSAFE CT program, which works to ensure children have safe, loving homes. Admission is free for spectators. Car registration is $10 and must be completed through The Village’s website or Village-provided forms.
The show features more than 300 vehicles from all eras, including classic and new cars, trucks, tractors and more. The event also includes activities for kids, raffles, food and refreshments from local vendors, and a special awards ceremony. Music will be provided by DJ Gary Pomo.
Founded in 2011 under the leadership of Richard “Jerry” Bundy, the event has grown into one of the region’s premier annual car shows, drawing hundreds of car enthusiasts and local families. Following Bundy’s passing in 2024, the event continues in his memory and in recognition of his contributions to KIDSAFE CT and the greater Vernon community.
