Car registration runs from 10 a.m. to noon, and the show is open from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free for spectators, making it an easy afternoon out for families, gearheads and anyone who enjoys a display of chrome and horsepower. A rain date is set for Sunday, September 20, 2026.
Organizers are welcoming classics, customs, low riders, street rods and muscle cars. Drivers who want to show a vehicle can pre-register online for $15 through the event’s registration form, which opened June 1. Same-day registration is $20, payable by cash or check only, and space is limited, so early sign-up is strongly encouraged.
Beyond the cars, the day will feature food trucks with a seated eating area, music, prizes for standout vehicles and the White Meadow Lake Gold Bar open for service. The event is organized by the White Meadow Lake Country Club, which is also seeking volunteers to help with check-in, directing cars and judging.
Anyone with questions can reach the organizers at events@whitemeadowlake.org. For a free family outing that celebrates automotive history right here in Rockaway, the Wheels on the Lake Car Show is worth marking on the September calendar.
