FAQ 1:

How do we get to park on Main Street and downtown on Friday of the Show?

In order to get on Main Street on Friday morning, you must have picked up your Credentials from Registration (see Schedule), have your armbands on your wrist & registration window sticker on your car.
On Friday morning, head to the Sobeys parking lot on Vaughn Harvey. A special small sticker will be placed on your windshield, which grants you access to Main Street. Many people line up at Sobeys on Thursday evening to get a prime spot, so there is high demand. (please after 9pm)

We’ll start sending cars from Sobeys to Main Street around 8:00 a.m., and the street typically fills up quickly. While some cars may leave throughout the day, spaces on Main Street are limited to those that become available. We do not have volunteers available to park vehicles during the day, but some security personnel may be available to direct you.

At 6:00 p.m., additional parking will be available at the Corey Craig Enterprises lot on Main Street, located between Tim Hortons and the Mexi building. Please note that you must enter from  Alma  street entrance.

FAQ 2:

Can I register “the old way” with paper and cash and not do that online stuff?

The simplest answer is yes, you can register in person, but it’s strongly discouraged. We’ve switched to an online system for two main reasons.

Why Online Registration is Best
First, to minimize the risk of spreading diseases like COVID-19, we no longer handle paper, money, and other items in a crowded, enclosed registration room.

Second, our events are run entirely by volunteers. Previously, it took over 100 people to manage the old paper-based system for four days. Now, we have around 20 volunteers, and their main job is to give credentials to those who registered online, allowing them to enjoy the show.

In-Person Registration Details
You can only register in person on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. However, you’ll have to pay a higher fee of $70. The line for on-site registration will move slowly because priority is given to those picking up their pre-registered credentials. You will need these credentials to attend all activities throughout the weekend.

Please View The Schedule to see where and when to pick up Credentials or In-Person Registration.

FAQ 3:

I sold the car that I registered. Can I take another car or do I have to pay to change cars?

That’s a great question. If you sold the car you registered and plan to bring a different one, you can absolutely do that at no additional charge.

It’s extremely important that the car you bring matches your registration details. If you win a major prize on Sunday, you’ll need to present the registered vehicle in person. If the car you brought doesn’t match the one on file, you won’t be able to claim your prize.

The process to change your vehicle is simple. When you come to pick up your credentials at registration, just tell the team that you’ve changed vehicles. They will update your information in the computer system to ensure you’re eligible for the grand prize draws. Even though everyone needs to fill in their vehicle information on the window stickers this year, you still must notify the Registration Team of any changes.

FAQ 4:

Why is the information on my car not showing on the window sticker this year? Why do I have to fill this in?

We used to make over 600 vehicle changes, which meant a lot of wasted time and stickers. To fix this, your window sticker this year will only have your car number and name pre-printed.

When you register, we’ll have markers available so you can fill in the rest of the details—like the year and make of your vehicle.

Please take a moment to do this. People love to learn about the cars at the show, so we appreciate you taking the time to fill in the information.

FAQ 5:

When will pre-registration close?

That’s an excellent question, and it’s important to remember that this entire show is run by volunteers. When everyone waits until the last minute to register, our team gets swamped, which can lead to mistakes and long lines for everyone.

Please get your registrations in early to help us save time and make the entire process smoother for all.

Important Registration Deadlines

---

We will be closing online registration on Wednesday, July 12th, at midnight. After this, you will have to register in person at the Moncton Coliseum on Friday or Saturday.  (see schedule),

On-site registration will be a slower process due to our limited number of volenteers and priorty placed on those that are pre registered, meaning you’ll likely have to wait in long lines. Additionally, in-person registration costs $70, while pre-registering online is only $60.  Early Bird before December is $50!

Remember, you must be fully registered before participating in any activities on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Getting your registration in early ensures you’re ready to go and helps our volunteers prepare for the event.

FAQ 6:

Where will the (name of car here) Parking area be this year?

Clubs or groups that want to park together should make arrangements with us in advance. Space in Centennial Park is limited, and we can’t reserve an area unless we know a group needs it.

How to Arrange Group Parking

Please choose a group leader to contact the Atlantic Nationals Team. They can work with us to find the best way to accommodate your group’s parking needs.

We welcome all types of vehicles and want to make sure everyone has a great time. By letting us know you’re coming as a group, you’re helping us ensure there’s enough space for everyone. Thank you for helping us make your group’s experience the best it can be!

FAQ 7:

Forgot your car number?

Not to worry! Our Team has you covered! They have prepared two listings, one numerical with all of your information, and the other alphabetical with everything about your registration… So as long as you know your name, you will be good!
