On behalf of the Ladysmith Show ‘n Shine committee and the hundreds of guests that will be bringing their classic/vintage/collector vehicles to our historic downtown, home of Canada’s Best Main Street on Saturday, August 20th, 2022, we are inviting you to come and see this great family-friendly community event.

The famous Doctors of Rock ‘n Roll are back again for 2022. The Doctors have performed at dozens of car shows as well as concerts, festivals and family events on the Island. Their most recent appearance in Ladysmith was at the recent 2021 Ladysmith Days at Transfer Beach.

The Show ‘n Shine entertainment is designed for folks to have a good time and get out on the street and dance…. so kick up your heels.

Drs of Rock n Roll

. . . .

From 10 am to 3 pm, Ladysmith’s famous downtown turns into not just a classic car dreamers heaven but a great stroll along our tree-lined casual main street featuring many businesses, restaurants, and shops that will be catering to locals and visitors alike.

Members of the Ladysmith Lions Club were on hand with their concession trailer cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs along with cold drinks for the crowd.
