Gananoque will welcome more than 75 classic MG sports cars this weekend for MG103Fest 2026, a three-day celebration of British motoring history.
The festival runs August 14 through 16 and is being hosted by the MG Car Club of Toronto and Ottawa MG Club. Organizers expect between 150 and 200 participants from across Ontario, Quebec, the United States and beyond.
The weekend includes a welcome pizza party Friday, a scenic driving tour through the Thousand Islands on Saturday, followed by a pub night and trivia evening.
The event wraps up Sunday with a free public car show at Town Park, giving residents and visitors an opportunity to see MGs spanning more than a century of automotive history.
The festival will also support the Gananoque Food Bank, with proceeds benefiting local individuals and families.
Organizers say the event will also provide a boost to local tourism and businesses.
