The Lawrenceville Boogie: dates, car show, road closures, shuttle

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Dates, times, closures and parking come from the City of Lawrenceville’s Lawrenceville Boogie page. This page is updated for each year’s festival at the same address.

The 2027 date for The Lawrenceville Boogie has not been announced. The city held the 2026 Boogie on Saturday, April 11, from 3 to 9 p.m. on the Downtown Lawrenceville Square. We will add the 2027 date, closures and shuttle times here as soon as the city posts them.

The city describes the Boogie as a free, multi-stage festival that brings music, art and car culture together: multi-genre live music, local vendors, a classic and custom car show, and a stage hosted by Jazz in the Alley. Proceeds from the car show and vendors benefit Beyond the Ribbon, which supports local families affected by cancer.
