June 18, 2026 PITTSBURGH, PA – The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix returns to race the city streets this July with some exciting new twists. The Panther Hollow Bridge, part of our traditional race track in Schenley Park, will re-open for PVGP racing. While vintage race cars hit the track, Ford Bronco owners will be hitting the trail.
Bronco Wild Fund and Neighborhood Ford Store are inviting Bronco enthusiasts and event guests to visit Bronco Wild Fund Base Camp, located at the entrance of the Schenley Park Golf Course on race weekend, July 18 and 19.
The Bronco Wild Fund display allows participants to discover what Bronco Wild Fund and Ford dealers are doing to help increase access, stewardship, and preservation of our public lands while enjoying a weekend of family fun and adventure.
Inspired by the legendary return of the Ford Bronco, the Bronco Wild Fund is dedicated to protecting public lands, promoting responsible outdoor recreation, and helping people connect with nature. Through grants, scholarships, conservation projects, and an extensive dealer network, the Bronco Wild Fund supports initiatives that preserve and expand access to the outdoors for future generations.
Guests will enjoy:
- Interactive games and activities
- A custom souvenir hat station
- Bronco Wild Fund educational experiences focused on stewardship and outdoor access
- Free giveaways and family fun
- A chance to enter to win a 2026 Ford Bronco® Big Bend®
On Sunday, July 19, the activity escalates as Bronco owners are invited to participate by driving their own Broncos in a special Guided Bronco Drive in Schenley Park. This scenic Bronco experience will feature a mild gravel-road route with beautiful views, designed for Bronco owners looking to enjoy the outdoors and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
Participants will gather at Bronco Wild Fund Base Camp at the entrance to the golf course, starting at 8:00 am. The drive will depart at the conclusion of the race lunch break, approximately 12:40 PM. And the drive takes them on a journey to the Vietnam Veterans Pavilion, where they can park trackside and get a close-up view of the track as the racers navigate the famous haybale serpentine before crossing the reopened Panther Hollow Bridge.
Bronco owners MUST register in advance to be a part of the Guided Bronco Drive on Sunday. Registered participants will receive a unique QR code that is required to access the field and grants free entry to the event.
Register here for the Sunday, July 19 Bronco Event Access and the Guided Bronco Drive
Bronco Wild Fund Basecamp will be located on the fairway along Schenley Drive, directly across from the entrance to the Bob O’Connor Golf Course. For more information, visit the Bronco Wild Fund
About The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix
The Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix is the nation’s only vintage street race and one of the most celebrated events of its kind worldwide. Each summer, a full Race Week of car shows, parties, parades, and motorsport events builds toward our signature vintage races through Schenley Park – the only vintage races in the country still run on public roads. Founded in 1983, the PVGP remains driven by its core mission: to stage a world-class vintage automotive event that raises essential funds for residential care, treatment, and support for individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities in western Pennsylvania, and has donated over $7 million to date.
Accolades for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix continue to grow. Classic Motorsports Magazine recently honored the PVGP as a winner in its inaugural 2025 Editors’ Choice Awards. This distinction adds to the event’s expanding international recognition, including its second consecutive nomination as a finalist for “Motorsport Event of the Year” by the International Historic Motoring Awards.
