Beverly's police cruisers will share the spotlight with classic cars, food trucks, and a little old-school soundtrack when Lynch Park hosts the city's fifth annual Beverly Police Car Show & Food Truck Event on Sunday, Sept. 27. The free-to-watch gathering runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is shaping up as a fundraiser as much as a chrome-and-horsepower showcase. All makes and models are welcome, so nobody has to own a garage queen to join the lineup.
According to the Beverly Police Department's announcement, vehicle entrants will pay a $15 fee and register in person at the event entrance; there is no preregistration and no advance payment. Entry fees can be paid with cash or Venmo, while spectators get in free. The department says the event is sponsored by Sterling Insurance Agency Inc.
The day will include a DJ playing 1950s and 1960s music, a police cruiser light-off at noon, and a police K-9 demonstration at 1 p.m. Food trucks scheduled to serve include On A Roll, Riverview Pizza, Ruta Jalisco, The Lunch Lady, and Beantrust, with a 50/50 raffle adding another chance to leave with something besides a full stomach.
There is one less-fun detail tucked into the event logistics: police are warning residents not to click registration links posted in the comments. The department said scammers used fake links at last year's event, and it is advising people to report suspicious comments rather than provide personal or payment information; legitimate car registration happens in person on Sept. 27. Exclusive 2026 Beverly Police Car Show patches will be sold for $10 at Aubuchon Ace Hardware or at the event, according to the same Beverly Police post.
Proceeds Will Support A North Shore Adaptive Powerlifting Program
Event proceeds will benefit the North Shore Warriors powerlifting program, giving the show a community-service angle beyond the hood ornaments. As explained by CrossFit Variance Plus, the program supports adaptive training for athletes with varying skill levels, including powerlifting participants who compete through Special Olympics Massachusetts.
For Beverly residents, the formula is straightforward: bring a vehicle, bring an appetite, or just bring yourself. The Beverly Police Department's public-information unit says its social media accounts are used to keep citizens updated, making those channels the place to watch for future event details.
