Town car show to return to Point Lookout The unmistakable rumble of classic engines will once again echo along the South Shore as Hempstead Town Supervisor John Ferretti invites residents and visitors to the return of the Spring Dust-Off Car Show at Town Park Point Lookout on Sunday, May 3 (rain date: Sunday, May 17). Widely recognized as Long Island’s largest car show, the annual event transforms the waterfront park into a showcase of craftsmanship, nostalgia, and automotive innovation. Car enthusiasts and families alike can expect a packed day featuring hundreds of vehicles competing for top honors, from vintage classics and custom builds to modern muscle cars and motorcycles. The celebration also includes live entertainment, a popular touch-a-truck experience, a kids’ zone, movie cars, a beer garden, and dozens of vendors offering food, merchandise, and automotive accessories. This year’s show will also feature appearances from some of the most recognizable names in the automotive and entertainment world, including custom car builder Dave Kindig, television personality
Kev Dogg, automotive entrepreneur Richard Rawlings, and professional wrestling icon Bill Goldberg. “The Spring Dust-Off has grown into one of the most anticipated traditions on our Town calendar,” said Supervisor Ferretti. “It’s a chance for car enthusiasts to show off their pride and joy while giving families a great reason to spend the day together along our beautiful shoreline.” The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Town Park Point Lookout (1300 Lido Blvd., Point Lookout). Gates open at 7 a.m. for registered vehicles. All makes and models are welcome, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, slingshots, trikes, and specialty vehicles. Vehicle pre-registration is $25 and $30 the day of the event. Participants can sign up in advance by visiting townofhempsteadevents. com. “With incredible cars, special guests, and the energy of thousands of visitors gathering in one place, the Spring Dust-Off captures the spirit of the car community,” Ferretti added. “It’s a great way to kick off the season here in the Town of Hempstead.”
