British Field Day 2024

British Field Day (BFD) is once again being held at Liberty Park. Join us Saturday, June 15, 2024, 9 AM – 2 PM. This is an event for families. Car owners, bring your rusty project, 100-point restoration, or anything in between. We celebrate all types of British vehicles in any condition.

Liberty Park is located between 500 East & 700 East, and 900 South & 1300 South in Salt Lake City. 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.

Registration starts at 8 AM although a little earlier than that (7:45) is OK too. We hope to have most bikes and cars in place by 9 AM although late registrations are allowed. The registration desk will be half way down the loop road until about 8:45 to prevent blocking the main park road. We encourage folks displaying vehicles to arrive early and try have the registration form filled out in advance. We encourage participants displaying vehicles to try and stay until 2 PM, but if you can only make it for a couple of hours, that is fine, too! The registration fee is $20 per bike or car (some text was deleted here) regardless of the number of cars or bikes they bring.

A $10 donation is requested per adult admission. Kids 12 and under are free.

 Although it is not required, you can help us out – PLEASE – and speed up the registration process by printing out the

British Field Day 2024 Registration Form

filling it out, and bringing it along with you on the 15th of June.

If a club or a group wants to reserve a space for multiple vehicles, you must do this Friday evening under the direction and permission of a BFD volunteer. You then need to clearly delineate and label the spot you want i.e. all 4 corners. If you wait until the day of the event you may not and probably will not get the spot that you want. We have had issues with ingress and egress because of the random placing of large groups in the past so we will have a one-way road of sorts laid out and request that this be kept free and clear and open. The S.L. P. D. and Fire Department requires this access for emergency purposes.

One new thing we are adding this year is off street parking. An issue we have had in the past is limited parking for spectators or entrants that are bringing a second car. Liberty Park is a very popular park especially on weekends so spectators coming to our event frequently cannot find convenient parking and folks coming to just use the park cannot either. Sadly both groups sometimes end up leaving. So we have off street designated parking for participants to the BFD only. There is a a $5 fee per car for this. We have to rent the additional space from the City hence the additional fee. If you utilize this, you can pay your admission fee and the parking fee together. It will be clearly marked and you will enter at the main entrance gate and turn south. After parking we encourage spectators to enter at the south gate which will be less busy than the main east gate.

The layout of the event is changing. All motorcycles (and food trucks) will be on the South side of the loop road. All cars will be on the north side of the loop road. There will be less room so we need to spread the event out much more to the west. We want to fill out the event from west to east so parking locations will be suggested. We also need to keep clearly marked paths open so keep this in mind. Next, if you bring a tow vehicle and trailer that isn’t specifically part of your display, we are requesting that all of these be stored in the SW quadrant of the event, not in the display area. Lastly we will need some volunteers from the car community to help with the setup from about 7:30 until 9:30 AM. It’s easy so come early and help! We will have coffee and donuts for the early bird helpers!

Setup is Friday evening June 14, 2024. If you are able to volunteer, please show up at 6:00 PM or an hour or so sooner. Work gloves, a gas powered blower, a stiff street broom, or a hammer and a staple gun would be welcomed. The BFD event itself is on Saturday June 15th, 2024. Saturday afternoon until 2:00 PM when we begin wrapping up the event and would appreciate any volunteer help with taking down the banners and stakes.

Have a great BFD!
