The Event 5 Hypercar Showcase will roar into Ariel~Foundation Park on Saturday, July 11, 2026, bringing hypercars, supercars, and exotics to Mount Vernon for the first time—all in support of the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation.
Ohio’s premier automotive gathering will transform the central grounds of Ariel~Foundation Park into a high‑octane display from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early Entry tickets open at 10:30 a.m., offering enthusiasts an extra hour and a half of distraction‑free viewing before General Admission begins at noon. Children 12 and under receive free admission but must register online to secure wristbands.
The showcase is dedicated to granting life‑changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. In a highlight moment, several Make‑A‑Wish children will slide into passenger seats and ride in some of the world’s most exclusive hypercars, creating unforgettable memories for them and their families. Proceeds from the event will fuel the foundation’s mission of hope and support.
To maximize fundraising and safely accommodate the vehicles, the central portion of Ariel~Foundation Park has been reserved exclusively for the event. While the Lakes, Meadows, and Heart of Ohio Trail remain open and free to the public, other areas—including the Norton Tower, Rastin Observation Tower, Schnormeier Event Center, Clock House, and adjacent parking lots—will require paid admission.
Visitors can expect unique visual arrangements of hypercars and exotics throughout the afternoon. Shuttle services will be available due to limited parking, and Premier Parking passes can be purchased online, offering dedicated spaces and Early Entry access.
The Event 5 is powered by presenting sponsors The Wyler Collection and Esoteric Detail, whose support ensures the showcase delivers both spectacle and purpose. Tickets are available at theeventohio.com, mvac.org, and arielfoundationpark.org. Those interested in displaying a vehicle or becoming a corporate sponsor can also register through the event’s website.
With engines roaring and wishes soaring, the Event 5 Hypercar Showcase promises not only a dazzling automotive spectacle but also a heartfelt mission—driving dreams forward for children and families supported by the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation.
