The annual Dorchester Park Car Show took place last Sunday with dozens of classic cars on display, music from the Boston School of Musical Arts, and children’s events.

The day also commemorated the 200th birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted, the renowned landscape architect whose firm designed Dorchester Park in 1893 as well as Boston’s Emerald Necklace and New York’s Central Park.

A large crowd came out to see the cars and grab a ride on the horse-drawn wagon – and the rain didn’t seem to hold anyone back.

The show was sponsored by the Dorchester Park Association (DPA), a volunteer organization responsible for organizing the Spring Egg Hunt and other events at the park and assisting the Park Department with the removal of litter.
