A PARADE of American cars will be taking to the streets of Maldon in support of a cancer charity.
The Museum of Power is putting the event this weekend with funds going to Aoife’s Bubbles charity.
The charity was set up in memory of Aoife Flanagan-Gibbs who died just five days after doctors diagnosed her with rare germ cell cancer.
Aoife's family, who live in Colchester, started the charity in 2019 to raise awareness of the cancer.
On Saturday, there will be an American car drive through in Maldon High Street, starting at Plume Academy at 4pm.
A car show will then be held at the Museum of Power base in Langford on Sunday.
On Sunday, there will be a large display of more than 300 vehicles as well as live music, trophies, miniature steam train rides, food and craft stalls.
The Museum of Power’s events manager, Lyz Le Fay, said: “We are looking at this to be one of our biggest events held this year at the Museum of Power.
“Sunday’s event will start at 10am with an array of American cars displayed on our events field.
“Our Trade Village will be on the courtyard this year, with many different crafts, sweet stalls, face painter and a massage therapist to put right your aching feet and back.
“We have an amazing array of food vendors of different flavours and delicacies, also catering for vegetarian and vegan palettes.
