 Classic cars at a historic site!  Enjoy the beautiful grounds, grassy areas, shade trees and relaxing atmosphere.

Pristine, vintage vehicles show off again this year under our big old shade trees.  Last year’s car show was a great success.  Over 180 beautiful cars and trucks were on display for the public to enjoy.  

The Country Flea Market opens at 9am with a wide selection of goods from live plants to gently used attic treasures.   You’re going to get hungry so grab some food and beverages and take them over to the picnic tables, gazebo or into the air-conditioned barn and relax here on the plantation.

This year, the pasture next to the Cultural Arts Center is a spectacle of antique tractors .   It’s a fitting display for the historic peanut plantation and a treat for farm fans.   Paying a mid-year visit  from Poplar Grove’s Halloween Festival,   Madame von Sloopenstein will be here reading palms.  

With all the shade trees at Poplar Grove it can still be pretty hot in July.  To cool off, there’s an ice cream parlor serving cones and sundaes in the air-conditioned barn.  It’s a great place to rest your feet and enjoy the oldies .   You can pick up a snack or lunch at one of the food booths, and then people-watch from a picnic table .

Admission is $5.00 all proceeds go to the non-profit Poplar Grove Foundation for improvement of the grounds.

Vehicles from 1987 and older may pre-register up until June 30^th for $20 after that registration is $25.  Registration 8AM – 12 Noon.  Judging begins 9:00.  Awards will be presented as soon as judging is tallied.  Flea Market Vendors space $30.  Rain or Shine. 

The historic plantation is located at 10200 US Highway 17 north at the New Hanover – Pender County line.  Sandy beaches, wonderful restaurants, great shopping, attractions and accommodations are only minutes away. Come on out to the plantation for a stroll down memory lane .  

Come join us for a stroll down memory lane and get up close to the grand display of magnificent cars and trucks.  Enter your 1987 or older vehicle and perhaps you’ll win a terrific Specialty Plaque.   If you don’t have a lil’ deuce coupe, you can still enter the 50/50 raffle.  Mark your calendar for classic cars, music, food, shopping and fun.
