The Columbus Piave Club is revving up for its annual Car & Motorcycle Show, returning Saturday, August 16, 2025, to the historic Valley Dale Ballroom. This much-anticipated community event combines classic cars, family fun, and cultural celebration—all in support of the Columbus Italian Festival Parade and High School Marching Band Competition.

Open to the public, the event will showcase a wide variety of classic cars, motorcycles, and custom vehicles, drawing enthusiasts from across Central Ohio. Vehicle registration is $20, and awards will be presented in multiple categories.

“This isn’t just a car show—it’s a celebration of tradition and a fundraiser with a purpose,” said Joe Ingrassia, Marketing and Events Director for the Columbus Piave Club. “Funds raised will go toward our Italian Festival Parade and scholarships for the talented student musicians who perform during the event.”

In addition to the vehicle displays, attendees can enjoy wood-fired pizza from the Son-In-Law Pizza Company food truck and artisan espresso from Sabana Coffee, both of which will be on-site serving throughout the day.

The event will take place at the Valley Dale Ballroom, a Columbus landmark owned by Landa Masdea Brunetto and Rick Brunetto, known for its historic charm, musical legacy and a part of local Italian-American History.

Gates open at 9:00 AM for registration, with the show running from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Awards will be announced at 1:00 PM, and families can enjoy music, food, and a kid-friendly play area throughout the day.
