Sunday, August 23, starting at 8 a.m., the Al Laskey Memorial Auto Show takes over Perkiomen Valley High School in Collegeville. If cars aren’t usually your thing, come anyway. Events like this are as much about the crowd as the cars, and Perkiomen Valley shows up for it every year.

Rows of classics, muscle cars, and everything in between fill the lot, and it’s the kind of low-pressure Sunday morning where you can wander, grab coffee, and talk to owners who are genuinely thrilled to tell you the story behind their car. It’s free to walk through, easy to bring kids to, and over almost as soon as your morning coffee wears off.

This one lands the same weekend as Spring-Ford’s first day of school on Monday, so if you’re local, think of it as one last easy, no-stress Sunday before the routine kicks back in. Get there early, beat the heat, and be home in time to lay out backpacks for Monday morning.

If you’re weighing Collegeville or the wider Perkiomen Valley area as a place to land, mornings like this are a pretty honest preview of what weekends actually feel like here. Not staged, not touristy, just a community that shows up.

Thinking about calling this area home? Shoot me a text, I’d love to show you what’s out there.

Talk soon! Danielle
