Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 16, 2025, as the Ocala Blue Star Mothers present the Second Annual Veterans Day Car Show, happening from 11 AM to 3 PM at Marion County Veterans Park on Silver Springs Blvd. This family-friendly event is free for spectators and promises a patriotic afternoon filled with cars, community, and a heartfelt tribute to those who have served our country.
A Car Show with a Cause
Hosted by the local chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America, the event welcomes all types of cars, jeeps, small trucks, and motorcycles. Whether you’re showcasing your vehicle or just coming to enjoy the lineup, this car show is designed to bring the community together in support of veterans and military heroes.
Proceeds from the event will go toward supporting veterans and their families—an effort deeply rooted in the mission of the Blue Star Mothers organization. The Ocala chapter is part of a national network of mothers who have sons or daughters currently serving or who have served in the Armed Forces. Their mission centers on patriotism, support, and service, and this event is one of the many ways they give back.
