We are happy to announce the 37th annual CT MG Club’s British By The Sea Gathering to be held on June 1st 2025 at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford CT on the North shore of Long Island Sound.

BBTS is a popular vote, fun event, with etched glass mugs being presented as awards. For 2025, we will have 32+ Classes of British Vehicles, displayed on our 4+ acre field. We want to encourage ALL British car, truck, and motorcycle owners and enthusiasts to a end and have an enjoyable time.

Whether your vehicle is in pristine condition, or a daily driver, sparkling paint and chrome or with “Barn Fresh” patina, it deserves to be part of the event and on the display field.

For 2025, our MARQUE OF THE YEAR will be MGA. They will be prominently displayed in the front rows of our display field.

Come down and enjoy the day mingling with other LBC owners, talk about cars, have a picnic, a glass of wine, and also take in all that the 240 acre Harkness Memorial State Park has to offer, such as the beach, tours of the Mansion “Eolia”, and the Gardens.

The CT MG Club donates a large amount of our proceeds from BBTS to the Park to purchase plants for the West Gardens, helping to restore the “Eolia” Gardens to their original grandeur as designed by Beatrix Farrand in 1919. In addition, we provide “people power” over a few weekends in the Spring to plant them.

We have selected a variety of quality food vendors to a end in order to satisfy any appetite, from coffee and pastry, hot dogs and hamburgers, lobster rolls, deli sandwiches and wood fired brick oven pizzas, to Ice Cream for dessert. You can also bring a picnic to enjoy and share “out of the boot” of your car.

The expansive lawn areas offer ample room for the display vehicles, vendors, spectator parking and a spacious area for trailer parking.

We hope to see you all on Sunday June 1st 2025.
