A classic car festival that will blow your mind!

Toyota Automobile Museum Classic Car Festival is an event held every year since 1990 in the hopes of spreading and passing on the allure of automobile culture. This year's event celebrates the 35th anniversary of the festival. In 2025, the Toyota Automobile Museum Classic Car Festival takes place in April to add to the fun of the Expo 20th Anniversary event. Personally-owned cars drive along approximately 14 kilometers of public roads in a parade from the Toyota Automobile Museum to the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park) with automobile exhibitions, event zones for children, and more automotive fun!

You can also watch events on the official Toyota Automobile Museum YouTube channel, broadcast at a later date.
