Guests will have the chance to cast their votes for “Most Artistic,” “Most Elegant,” “People’s Choice,” “Young Connoisseur,” and “Sculptural Speed.” Grand Marshal Donald Osborne will host a “Monuments in Motion- Landmarks in Automotive Design” talk at 2 p.m.
The community will once again have the opportunity to join America’s 250 Tribute “A Nation Remembers: Songs and Stories of Valor” at 3:15 p.m., followed by the Grand Tour Parade of Cars at 4:15 p.m. The tour will feature 40 unique classic cars and will trace a scenic route from the gardens along the Intracoastal on Flagler Drive offering a complimentary viewing opportunity for the public.
