Great Pumpkin Classic Returns to Kensington Valley Outlets to Support Livingston County Salvation Army

The 19th Great Pumpkin Classic Car Show convenes at The Kensington Valley Outlets with vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles raising funds toward a $250,000 matching grant for the Salvation Army of Livingston County.

Veterans Connected and the Salvation Army of Livingston County staged the 19th annual Great Pumpkin Classic Car Show at The Kensington Valley Outlets, with the main event scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and a meet-and-greet the night before. The show lineup included vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles intended to draw local enthusiasts and families.

The fundraiser directly supported local people in need, with proceeds counting toward a $250,000 matching grant the Salvation Army had received. Organizers positioned the event as a community effort to amplify charitable impact through an established regional car show.

New for 2026, a VIP meet-and-greet was set for Friday evening at the Ken Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton. The VIP gathering ran from 6 to 9 p.m. and featured Adam Genei of Mobsteel/Detroit Steel Wheel Co. alongside actor-comedian Adam Ferrara, adding a high-profile element to the weekend.

What’s next: attendees and supporters were expected to participate in the Saturday show to help boost donations toward the matching grant and sustain the Salvation Army’s local assistance programs.
