The first Sharjah Classic Cars Festival will roar into town on February 2. The venue is yet to be announced. The three-day event promises more than just a display of vintage vehicles. Hosted by the Sharjah Old Car Club, the festival is a celebration of the world's automotive heritage.

Discussions with owners of the UAE's rarest vintage cars and interactive workshops will be a feature of the event that will include food truck areas at the venue. It's not just about cars; it's a blend of history, entertainment and culinary fest, the organiser said.

SOCC President Dr Ali Ahmed Abu Al Zoud said the festival is a movement celebrating the region’s history through its vintage cars.

“We chose the slogan to reflect our belief that vintage cars are more than just vehicles; they are chronicles of human history and evolution and a source of inspiration, particularly for the youth, who are driven by innovation and distinction. Through the festival, we aim to offer a holistic experience encompassing educational, recreational, and commercial dimensions, making the festival a socio-cultural and economic gala.”
