(Hickory Corners, Mich. / June 23, 2021) - Don't let your little ones miss our second magical Princess Day event of the year! At the Gilmore Car Museum's Princesses on Parade & Fairytale Brunch outdoor event on Friday, July 23rd, children will enjoy unforgettable interactions with their favorite storybook princesses and special cars from the museum’s world-class collection. Princess Day activities, presented by Hagerty, will run from 9:30am – 3:00pm ET on Friday, July 23rd, 2021. Tickets are on sale now.
With purchase of a Fairtyale Brunch ticket, children can enjoy a delicious morning brunch with Rapunzel, Ariel, and Belle, as they mingle with guests under the outdoor tent, lead a special welcome dance, and conduct a wishing ceremony. Or, with purchase of a standalone Meet & Greet ticket, children can capture memorable outdoor photo ops with up to TWELVE storybook princesses and vintage vehicles as they tour the Gilmore lawns. Then, purchase of a special Princesses on Parade ride ticket allows for you and your child to enjoy a ride around campus alongside a Princess, waving to onlookers, in a classic convertible!
“Princess Days at the Gilmore Car Museum engage and delight children, yet also educate and introduce them to automotive history,” said Josh Russell, Executive Director of the Gilmore Car Museum. Outdoor photos with the featured princesses will be taken in front of landmark buildings and special vehicles from the museum collections, including a 1921 Roamer Speedster, America’s Sweetheart Model A Ford, and a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Sedanca DeVille.
