Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is the nation’s largest vintage street race and a premier motorsport festival, blending the excitement of racing with car shows, parties, and parades — all set against the scenic backdrop of Pittsburgh.
Now entering our 44th year, the PVGP has earned international acclaim, including back-to-back finalist honors for Motorsport Event of the Year at the 2024 and 2025 International Historic Motoring Awards. The PVGP also won the 2025 Classic Motorsports Editors’ Choice Award.
More than just a celebration of automotive history, the PVGP is driven by purpose. Since 1983, we’ve raised over $7 million to support individuals with autism and intellectual or developmental disabilities. Thanks to our passionate volunteers, attendees, and partners, the PVGP continues to thrive as a world-class event with lasting impact.
