British Field Day will be held at Liberty Park again this year on Saturday, June 19 from 9 am to 3 pm. It is a time for all British car and motorcycle enthusiasts to get their rigs out of the garage, clean them up and get them running as well as can be expected. All British cars and bikes in any condition from 100-point restorations to works in progress or an old daily beater are welcome. The more the merrier! All the British car/bike clubs are participating. Call your fellow club members and get them to the event!
For the brave of heart, we will have the road course set up again this year on a closed access road inside the park. It promises to be as noisy and challenging as in previous years!
During the event there will be shop talk, bench-racing, catching up with friends, and more. Liberty Park has many amenities including one of the largest and best playgrounds in the city, the Tracy Aviary and a small amusement park with a Ferris wheel and merry-go-round. Even if your family doesn’t share your passion for LBCs (little British cars), there will be plenty for them to do while you are getting your fix!
The non-profit Salt Lake Community Network (SLCN) will be providing volunteers to assist with the event so the organizers can have more time for some fun, too! The Salt Lake Community Network is a non-profit umbrella organization for the Salt Lake City Community Councils. The community councils are neighborhood organizations that provide input from residents to city government.
Food this year will be California style with a bold Asian influence including Asian tacos, sliders, salads and more made available at reasonable prices by CHOW HAUTE ASIAN CUISINE ON THE GO. The CHOW Truck will be inside the event.
Liberty Park is located between 500 East & 700 East and 900 South & 1300 South. The BFD event will be held in the northeast quadrant of the park. Enter off 1300 South and drive east and north about a quarter of the way around the park. You will see the event on the left.
Please help support SLCN by bringing your cars and bikes out to join in the fun. Registration starts at 8 am. We hope to have most bikes and cars in place by 9 am and we encourage folks displaying vehicles to try to stay until 3 pm, but if you can only make it for a couple of hours, that’s fine too! The registration fee is $10 per bike or car. A $5 donation is requested per adult. Kids 12 and under are free.
