The event is being held simultaneously with (and within a short walk of) the annual Olde Ipswich Days event. To kick off the festival, there will be an MPG
competition for production hybrids. Participants will complete a predetermined course
before the festival begins. The winners will display their car and the winning mileage on
the festival’s “Main Street”. The festival will take place at the Ipswich Town Hall on Green
Street and adjacent to the scenic Ipswich River.
