Get Ready for the 12th Annual Myrtle Beach Britfest British Car Show!
Mark your calendars, car lovers and charity champions! This year’s 12th Annual Myrtle Beach Britfest British Car Show is revving its engines and is set to take place on October 4 at the vibrant Market Common District in the lovely Myrtle Beach. Organized by the dedicated folks at the Grand Strand British Car Club, this annual event is not to be missed!
A Celebration of the MGA
In a special twist for this year, the event is celebrating a remarkable milestone—70 years of the MGA. This stunning British sports car was showcased between 1955 and 1962 and remains a favorite among car enthusiasts worldwide. To commemorate this occasion, there will be a special vote held to recognize the best example of the MGA that shows up at the event. So, if you’re an MGA owner, this might just be your time to shine!
What to Expect: An Array of British Classics
Expect to feast your eyes on a dazzling array of approximately 100 to 140 cars showcasing some of the best British classic vehicles and rare antiques. From elegant sedans to sporty roadsters, you’ll find something for every taste. This show isn’t just about the cars, though—it’s a fabulous community event that combines our love for autos with a heartwarming cause.
Support Local Charities
This year’s Britfest will also feature three non-profit charitable organizations participating in the event, which is a wonderful opportunity for attendees to give back. The charities involved are:
- All4Paws animal rescue
- Gifts from the Heart
- Bean Dreaming Coffee Truck
As part of your ticket to fun, the event will be collecting gently used items to support these organizations. Some suggested donations include golf balls, golf clubs, shampoos, conditioners, soft toothbrushes, liquid hand soap, stuffed animals, and more. Bring something along to help out a great cause and make a difference in the community.
