2012 Bumpers Bikes & Bands Vehicle Registration is OPEN!

The annual Bumpers Bikes and Bands festival in Plymouth’s historic Old Village neighborhood will take place on Saturday July 28, 2012

New this year we have added online registration for vehicles.  You can still mail in registration form and check or pay at the gate, but now, you can register online with a credit or debit card!

In addition to online registration we have also added some new registration packages for card owners showing off cars at the event.

Just as in years past you will be able to register at the gate for $15, or pre-register for $10. But now, you can also take part in a special pre-registration promotion that allows you to register at the silver level for only $25 and receive a commemorative dash plaque and a limited edition poster print.

For an even better value you can pre-register at the Gold Level for $50.  When you register at the Gold ticket level you get the commemorative dash plaque and the limited edition poster print, plus an event t-shirt and your car will be featured in our special VIP area.  We’re limited the Gold level tickets to only the first 25 that are purchased.  You can still register for the Gold level ticket by mail, but to guarantee your spot is available you should register online.
