WAMBO returns in August 2023

A popular summer event in Wallaceburg is getting ready to shine again.

The Wallaceburg Antique Motor and Boat Outing (WAMBO) Committee said it's set for August 11, 12, and 13, 2023.

Members had their first meeting of 2023 on Thursday and said more information will be made public in the coming months.

"We will feature our traditional lineup of classic cars, boats, vendors, musical entertainment, refreshments, and much more," they said. "We also have some exciting new features in the works, including a brand new 50/50 draw."

WAMBO is one of Canada's largest transportation shows.

Other popular displays include models and toys and Art in the Park.

Entertainment at various locations around town include Live Music, Karaoke, a Soap Box Derby and Fire Truck Parades as well as a Dream Cruise of Classic Cars.
