Whereas Council and Administration are in receipt of correspondence from the organizers of the 2nd Annual Prince Adventure’s Exotic Car Show (the “Exotic Car Show”), which is scheduled to take place on October 4, 2025;
And whereas the Exotic Car Show was held in the Migration Festival Hall parking lot in 2024 and was a tremendous success with over 50 exotic cars displayed and 3000 spectators in attendance;
And whereas the Exotic Car Show benefitted the community in that it collected a truckload of food and raised and donated $5000 to the Kingsville Community Food Bank;
And whereas the event organizers have requested Council’s support to relocate the 2nd Annual Prince Adventure’s Exotic Car Show to Kingsville’s downtown area in an effort to display 100 exotic cars and attract 5000 spectators;
And whereas administration has consulted with the BIA Board and received a reply indicating, “While we acknowledge that not all businesses may align with or support these initiatives, we recognize that others will find significant value in the increased foot traffic and visibility that these events may generate. It is essential for our community to come together, as promotions for our local small businesses and the overall economy are vital to our collective success”;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Kingsville approves the closure of King St to Chestnut (on the same footprint as the “Kingsville Block Party”) from 9 am to 3 pm on October 4, 2025 for the 2nd Annual Prince Adventure’s Exotic Car Show, subject to terms and conditions decided by the Special Events Review Team (SERT).
