Organizers of the 14th annual Yorkville Exotic Car Show are touting an event featuring more than 130 classic and exotic cars, from brands including Aston Martin, Ferrari, Polestar, Lucid, Lotus, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche and more.

The Toronto event, hosted by the Bloor-Yorkville Business Improvement Area, is happening on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16, from noon to 5 p.m. The event supports Melanoma Canada.

The luxury vehicle display will happen on Bloor Street, between Avenue Road and Yonge Street and a few other streets.

“We’re thrilled to be rolling out the red carpet for the 14th year and to host Canada’s largest luxury car show while raising funds to support the melanoma and skin cancer community,” said Briar de Lange, the executive director of the Bloor-Yorkville BIA, in a news release. “With an expanded footprint, visitors of this year’s Yorkville Exotic Car Show can expect an extensive lineup of both classic and exotic cars, alongside exciting musical performances and new activations.”

Visitors will also get their first public Canadian viewing of the 2025 Aston Martin Vantage at the event.

The event will feature 15 corrals of cars as well as interactive sponsor activations.

There will also musical street performances from the Brendan Cassidy Quartet, Johnny Max Band, Sean Stanley Trio, Valeria Matzner, and West End Riverboat Band.

Block party with Wendel Clark

Former Toronto Maple Leafs player Wendel Clark will host the Neutrogena Block Party. For a $10 donation (adults) or $5 (children), attendees will experience an exclusive collection of vehicles from Grand Touring Automobiles, including the Himalaya Defender, Lamborghini Revuelto, Bugatti, Rimac Nevera, and Pininfarina Battista. There will also be live entertainment and a red-carpet photo opportunity.

The first 100 visitors to the block party will also get some swag.

“Melanoma Canada is pleased to unite car enthusiasts, advocates, and supporters alike in a shared mission to raise awareness and help raise funds to support our melanoma and skin cancer patient programs,” said Melanoma Canada CEO Falyn Katz in the release. “As the prevalence of melanoma and skin cancer rises, particularly among the youth, it’s imperative to spotlight the significance of sun safety. These cancers, often preventable, are attributed to over 80 per cent of cases stemming from the sun’s harmful UV rays. We are grateful to the Bloor-Yorkville BIA, Neutrogena, Grand Touring Automobiles, Aston Martin, and all sponsors and supporters for their united commitment to Melanoma Canada’s cause.”
