BOYERTOWN PA – Duryea Day, the annual antique, classic car, and truck show named for automotive pioneer Charles Duryea, returns Saturday (Aug. 30, 2025) to Boyertown. The event, accompanied by a flea market, observes its 59th anniversary this year.
Hundreds of vehicles will be on display from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. within Boyertown Community Park, 419 S. Madison St.
Additionally, day-of-show registration for vehicles is available. All makes, models, and years are welcome.
The event is presented by the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles, which benefits from its proceeds. The revenue funds its operations, and also pays to maintain its collections and facilities.
Duryea worked with his brother, Frank, in 1892 and 1893 to create the first commercially successful American gasoline-powered automobile. Several vehicles manufactured by the Duryea Power Company factory are exhibits in the museum.
Several food trucks will be on hand to provide menu items and beverages for purchase. Many vendors also will be available with products and services.
Tickets include museum admission
Spectator admission tickets cost $10 for adults, and covers visits to both the show and the nearby museum. Those age 12 and younger attend for free. A shuttle service is available throughout the event between the park and the museum, located at 85 S. Walnut St.
The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles is a non-profit organization founded in 1965 by Paul and Erminie Hafer. It exists to preserve and display examples of Pennsylvania’s road transportation history in the former factory buildings of the Boyertown Auto Body Works.
Dozens of locally manufactured cars, trucks, carriages, bicycles, and motorcycles are on display.
The museum’s collection also includes an early 20th Century “Tip Top” tourist cabin. Acquired in 2023, this example of early roadside architecture has benefited from extensive restoration, and is displayed in the museum’s main gallery.
Two other examples of roadside architecture can also be seen there: a 1921 cottage-style Sunoco gas station, and a 1938 Jerry O’Mahony diner.
