Free Car Show To Return To Hoboken Waterfront With Rare Lamborghini
HOBOKEN, NJ — Antique cars and newer models will come to the Hoboken waterfront next month.
Featuring a curated collection of vehicles from pre-1959 to the 1990s, the 2024 Hudson River Showcase Car Show will be inspired by Hoboken-born Frank Sinatra’s legendary car collection, including a rare Lamborghini Miura.
The Hoboken Business Alliance (HBA), a special improvement district, has announced the return of the showcase on Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sinatra Drive.
More than 100 classic and exotic luxury automobiles will grace Hoboken’s lower Sinatra Drive in the second annual automobile showcase.
The event is free to attend.
It “offers attendees the opportunity to see vintage automotive elegance up close, set against the backdrop of the New York City skyline,” organizers said.
Saxophonist Lonnie Youngblood will perform Frank Sinatra classics and other jazz pieces throughout the event.

Presented by the Hoboken Business Alliance and produced by Cars and Caffe and Main Street Pops, the experience is for car enthusiasts of all ages.
