September 10&11. Always the weekend after Labor Day.

It's not on the THF website yet, but traditionally it has always been on the weekend after Labor Day. This year that will be September 10 & 11.

If the borders are open, and I assume they will be, the crowd will be much more than it was last year.
It was not bumper to bumper this year and I really enjoyed that, but I also realize the more cars and patrons the more funding for The Henry Ford.

If you want to see every year examples of the Model T and numerous other vehicle brands, this is the place to be.
Nice compact area and you can tour The Henry Ford, Greenfield Village, Piquette, Edsel's Mansion, and Rouge tour.

... you can tour The Henry Ford, Greenfield Village, Piquette, Edsel' Mansion, and Rouge tour.
...if you arrange to be in the Detroit area for more than just the weekend. I like to arrive at least a day early for a visit to Piquette.

That is why I helped you load the weight watchers group right before the race. Such a nice bunch of people.

Attended for the first time last year. Something for everyone. A sand box and animals for grandchildren to a beer stand for us old gessers with a lot of nice cars and friendly people between. We are are thinking of going this year.
