You can celebrate Pontiacs — RIP — Mustangs and Jaguars, and help raise funds for organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association and the American Cancer Society.

Classic cars of various make and model make their way through downtown Natick during an informal Fourth of July classic car tour in 2020. The tour travled down the path of Natick's traditional Fourth of July parade, which was canceled that year due to the pandemic.
