There’s plenty of things to do this weekend if you’re looking for family-friendly activities.

More than a thousand classic cars, hot rods, motorcycles and new automobiles will drive onto Water Street in Henderson today, Sept. 27 and Sept. 28.

The cars on display range from Model Ts to concept cars. The show includes contests, such as slow drags, where drivers can show how slow they can go without hitting the break; the burnout competition, with drivers in stationary vehicles spinning their wheels to cause smoke; and the how loud can you go engine-revving competition.

In addition, there will be live entertainment.

The event is free to spectators. Hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. today, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sept. 27 and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sept. 28.

It’s time once again for the Summerlin Art Festival, which will run 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 27 and 28 at Summerlin Centre Community Park, 10588 Market Place Drive.
