Revving Up Community Spirit:

2026 Annal Car Show

On April 18, downtown Sylvester came alive for the 2026 Annual Car Show, bringing together car enthusiasts, families, and visitors from across the region for a day full of horsepower, connection, and community pride.

With over 150 registered vehicles and record attendance, this year’s show was one of the largest to date. From classic restorations to modern favorites, and everything in between, the event celebrated craftsmanship, creativity, and a shared love for the open road.

But what many don’t see is the work that happens long before the first engine rolls in.

Months in the Making

The Annual Car Show is powered by a dedicated team of volunteers who serve on the Car Show Committee. Months ahead of the event, this group is hard at work securing sponsors, organizing registrations, coordinating logistics, planning awards, and making sure every detail is in place.

Under the leadership of Chair Chris Shipp and Vice Chair Philip Duke, the committee’s commitment ensures the event continues to grow year after year, creating an experience the entire community can enjoy.

More Than Just Cars

While the vehicles may be the main attraction, the Car Show is about so much more.

It’s about bringing people together.

It’s about celebrating local businesses.

And it’s about showcasing the energy and hospitality that make Worth County special.

Events like this create opportunities for connection, neighbors catching up, visitors exploring downtown, and businesses engaging with new faces, all while highlighting the pride people have in this community.
