Drogheda Motor Show Returns with a CARnival Twist

Saturday 21st June 2025 is shaping up to be the most colourful date in the motoring calendar, as the 15th Annual Drogheda Motor Show transforms Laurence Street into a high-octane CAR-nival!

Think cars meet carnival — with clowns, face painting, balloon modelling, live music, magic, and mayhem, all mixed in with the latest and greatest from the world’s top motor brands.

For the past 14 years, this one-of-a-kind street motor show has been bringing the new car buying experience directly to the public in a fun, friendly, no-pressure environment.

This year, with the spirit of celebration at its heart, the event promises to be more vibrant and engaging than ever — a true festival of motoring, community and colour. Twenty leading motor brands will be showcased, with nine franchised local dealers rolling onto the street with the best of their new 252 cars and vans on display.

The 2025 Drogheda Motor Show Dealers are:

Blackstone Motors – Renault, Dacia, and Opel;

Brian Reynolds Car Sales – Fiat, Mazda, and MG;

Colm Quinn BMW – BMW;

Frank Keane Drogheda – Hyundai and Suzuki;

Jack Doran Motors – Kia and Citroën;

Malones Toyota Drogheda – Toyota;

Smiths of Drogheda – Ford and Ford Commercial Vehicles;

Western Motors Drogheda – Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Cupra, SEAT, and Škoda;

Windsor Drogheda Peugeot – Peugeot.

Whether you're a serious buyer or a curious browser, Laurence Street is the place to compare, explore, and experience the newest in motoring — all in one spot, all in one day.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, Laurence Street will be temporarily pedestrianised during the show, with a full road closure in place (subject to licence), thanks to the grateful support of Louth County Council and An Garda Síochána. This allows visitors to explore freely, enjoy the entertainment, and engage with motor dealers without the worry of traffic.

The Drogheda Motor Show will run from 10am to 4pm, and admission is free.

But the Drogheda Motor Show is about more than motors. It's also about community, safety, and a shared passion for innovation. This year, we’re working closely with the Road Safety Authority and An Garda Síochána to build an engaging road safety message into the event — a crucial element of our public outreach and community connection.

The show is proudly supported by First Citizen Finance, LHK Group, Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI), Louth County Council, Drogheda & District Chamber, and the Laurence Street Business and Traders Group.

We’re especially grateful to the businesses and residents of Laurence Street, whose ongoing support helps create the warm welcome and lively atmosphere that make this event so unique. In the coming days, we’ll be reaching out to further engage and collaborate with everyone on the street as we finalise plans for what promises to be a fantastic community day out.

All the latest details, including participating brands, event features and more can be found at www.brandnewdrive.ie - our refreshed website will be launching in the coming days.

So, mark your calendar for Saturday 21st June, bring the whole family, and get ready for a CAR-nival like no other! Let the countdown to Drogheda’s most colourful motoring celebration begin!
