** 2023 Virginia Festival of the Wheel has been Cancelled **
It is with extreme sadness that we must announce the cancellation of this year's Virginia Festival Of The Wheel due to a serious health issue that is affecting an essential and beloved member of our team. Our goal is to return in 2024 with an event that will be bigger and better than ever - and that you'll be there, alongside us to celebrate not only the beauty, history, performance, and craftsmanship of some of the finest automobiles throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond - but also to share in our goal of raising money in support of the UVA Cancer Center Patient Care Fund, which has always been the ultimate mission and core value of this special event. And, to truly make next year's event truly the best ever - we have every intention of also celebrating the full healing, recovery, and restoration of health for our dear friend and colleague during our 2024 Virginia Festival of the Wheel.

To all who have supported our plans for this year, our sponsors, those who applied to enter their automobiles, those who purchased spectator tickets, our advertising and media allies and associates, our board members, volunteers, and all Virginia Festival of the Wheel participants - as well as our family and loved ones who have tirelessly supported our mission to bring the Virginia Festival of the Wheel to fruition each year, please accept our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

On December 19, we were honored to present a check in the amount of $35,000 to the UVA Cancer Center Patient Care Fund. Each year, proceeds from our annual Virginia Festival of the Wheel are donated to this worthy cause. Since our inception, we've donated a total of $110,000 and we couldn't do it without your support of the Virginia Festival of the Wheel!

Plans are underway right now for our 2023 festival. Please contact us
