The 32nd annual Edenvale Gathering of the Classics, hosted by the Edenvale Classic Aircraft Foundation (ECAF), took place with great enthusiasm. Originally planned for Saturday, August 12th, the event gracefully shifted to its rain day on Sunday, August 13th.

Renowned as Canada’s largest Classic Aircraft and Classic Car event, the Gathering truly lived up to its reputation this year.

As anticipated, a captivating array of biplanes, Second World War trainers, home-built aircraft, helicopters, vintage automobiles, motorcycles, classic aircraft, military vehicles, as well as helicopter and airplane rides, stood ready to enchant the attendees.

Participating in the event, the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association from Tillsonburg proudly showcased two of their remarkable aircraft. Meanwhile, the Edenvale Classic Aircraft Foundation’s expansive collection of aviation memorabilia was on display, connecting with those who share an abiding interest in the aircraft of yesteryears—a pivotal chapter in Canadian aviation history.

The festivities were further enriched by an array of food vendors, diverse displays, engaging children’s activities, and much more—all thoughtfully orchestrated to entertain attendees of all ages. Moreover, the Canadian Air and Space Conservancy exhibited the AVRO Arrow replica, adding to the charm of the occasion and ensuring a memorable experience for all who attended.
