Alderman Paul Porter, Chairman of the Council’s Leisure and Community Development Committee, said: “The organisers of this event would like to see local participation from classic and vintage vehicle owners to make an impressive sight as they travel through the City to Dundrod.
“Last year 200 cars and bikes took part and made a spectacular display travelling through Lisburn.
“We would welcome members of the public who wish to come to Lagan Valley Island and view these car and bikes parked up before they begin their parade lap. Alternatively there are many good viewing spots throughout the City Centre to watch the passing cavalcade.”
