In full

It is one of eight third-party events currently supported by the City of Fairfax, five of which involve road closures. The event has a history of community giving: over seven years, it has provided thousands of school-supply-filled backpacks to city schools, and most recently donated $5,000 to school food pantries — $1,250 to each of four schools — recognized formally by the School Board on April 6, 2026, when Chair Pitches presented Jeff Greenfield with a Fairfax High School sweatshirt in appreciation. As of April 7, 2026, the City Council discussed its broader third-party event sponsorship framework in a work session, during which the Car Show was identified as one of the events under review; Council favored a hybrid of options 2 and 3 for managing such sponsorships and directed staff to return for a follow-up at a future meeting.

A September 8, 2026 transcript excerpt references a "very successful Labor Day car show yesterday," indicating the event took place on Labor Day 2026.
