Marlborough Main Street Car Show Postponed Due To Rain

MARLBOROUGH, MA — The largest annual car show and fundraiser in Marlborough was canceled over the weekend due to rain — but the show will rev on later this month.

The Marlborough Main Street Car Show organizers are now planning to hold the event on June 18 at the same location near the intersection of Main and Granger streets. The 13th annual event will feature about 300 classic and modern cars for attendees to gawk at.

The show, sponsored each year by the Brothers of United Brethren Lodge Massachusetts Freemasons in Marlborough, is also a fundraiser for local charities. Each person who displays a car pays an entry fee, and the proceeds go to organizations like the Marlborough Community Cupboard, the Boys and Girls Clubs of MetroWest, Shriners Hospitals and the Wounded Warriors Project.

The Marlborough car show kicked off in 2009 as a celebration of the Masonic lodge's 150th anniversary. To date, the event has raised more than $300,000 for local charities.
