Euro car fest makes its way to 3rd Mississippi city

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - A classic European car festival is adding a third city in Mississippi to its roster.

The Oxford Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/2qNcTjY ) the annual Renaissance Classic Euro Fest Car and Motorcycle Show will be held for the first time in Oxford on Saturday. The event will take place on the Lawn at the Community Pavilion at the intersection of University Avenue and Bramlett Boulevard.

Over the years the fest has attracted more than 100,000 spectators and more than 1,000 cars from six countries have been displayed. It began eight years ago at the Renaissance Center in Ridgeland and expanded to Natchez in 2016.

Event founder Mike Marsh says the Oxford Euro Fest will be a free, fun family event offering views of autos some may have only heard of but never seen.
