CANANDAIGUA, NY — You may consider the International Festival & Vintage Car Celebration a kickoff to the summer season of fun and festivities in downtown Canandaigua.

Or, as many car lovers could attest who visited the city on Saturday, it was a great event for seeing several vintage and classic cars made in Europe, Japan and England that you just don't see every day on Main Street, anywhere, let alone Canandaigua.

The cars joined a parade that traveled through downtown and to parts outside the city before drivers parked along Main Street to show off their vehicles and answer a few questions about them.

Cars like this are not seen every day, but they were on Saturday as part of a parade of classic foreign cars during the International Festival & Vintage Car Celebration in downtown Canandaigua.
