All vehicles will need to be removed from the Lot by 8 o’clock that morning, and none will be permitted to return to the Lot during those hours.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may create for any businesses, customers, and residents. We hope that by providing everyone with this extended notice, that any impact can be anticipated and managed. We anticipate bringing over 1000 people into Town for the day, and hope to raise several thousand dollars that can be spent through BBB to benefit all of us in Boyertown. Alternate parking will be available in the lots of: The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles, National Penn Bank, Good Shepherd and St. John’s Churches.
