The Drogheda motor show - or to give it its correct name, the Drogheda Motor Show Brand New Drive 221 event - is returning for 2021, and will be held for the second time in its history in the heart of the town, on Laurence Street later this month.
Car buyers in Drogheda and from further afield
Designed to give car buyers in Drogheda (and, hey, from anywhere else if you fancy popping by...) a chance to see the latest cars up close and personal, the event will run from 10am until 5pm on Saturday 23rd October.
Nine of Drogheda's main dealers will be taking part, and between them, they'll have some 70 cars on display, all built around the theme of 'Evolution of the Motor Car in Drogheda.' According to the organisers, "Key messages of road safety and responsible driving will feature strongly in the programme and the dealers will focus on sharing information with the public about the sophisticated safety aspects of their shiny new cars for this one-day-only event."
Family day out
It's designed to be a family event, so there's no high-pressure sales stuff - just a chance to see, sit in, and even smell the newest cars. "We're so excited about getting the show back into the centre of Drogheda, where it belongs, now that the COVID-19 restrictions have finally eased. This year's show celebrates 120 years of motoring in the town and visitors will be treated to some very special surprises and unveilings on the day!" said Alan Reynolds, from Brian Reynolds Car Sales (Mazda and Fiat).
The 2021 show is supported by First Citizen Finance, Drogheda & District Chamber, Society of the Irish Motor Industry, LHK Group, Louth County Council and the Laurence Street Businesses and Traders.
