Labor Day Car Show 2026
Southport Lions Club on Saturday, September 5, 2026 presents its annual car show. To honor our local firefighters and first responders, all proceeds and funds generated from the event will go directly to the Southport Rescue Squad Auxiliary Ballistic Vest Program. Additional activities will include a 50/50 raffle and silent auction, with special games, challenges, and prizes for participating car clubs.
All vintage vehicles will be displayed along Howe and Bay Streets in Historic Downtown Southport. General admission is FREE to the public, with a $25 registration fee for judged entries. Corporate or business sponsorships for the Southport Lions Foundation are $100. The festivities culminate with an awards trophy ceremony for automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles entered in the show.
What could be better — enjoying the Labor Day Weekend with family, friends, classic cars, hamburgers, hot dogs, the Southport Lions, and DJ Dave spinning good old rock ’n roll.

Welcome to Southport Lions Club
North Carolina, USA
Lions Clubs International (LCI) was formed in 1917 by a Chicago business leader, Melvin Jones with the idea of business professionals pooling their energy, talent, and resources toward the service of others. Today, LCI is the world’s largest service club with close to 1.4 million members. The Lions motto, “We Serve,” reflects our commitment of service to our world, country, state, and community. Lions Club International is committed to supporting the visually impaired and supporting sight conservation. Lions Clubs strive to improve the lives of the needy and offer the chance to catch the spirit of service.
Southport Lions Club was established in 1945 by a group of concerned and dedicated citizens who wished to follow the ideas and principles of Lions Club International. Today it has over 50 members (women and men) and continues to grow and serve the city of Southport, North Carolina (and neighboring areas) in a wide variety of ways. We raise funds to provide support to numerous charities, host annual fundraising events, and assist individuals in need. We also stress support for educational opportunities and assistance for area students who are planning for college.
