Blues & Cruise

CAR SHOW MUSIC FESTIVAL

Saturday May 18th, 2024

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

 

Join us as we kick off our summer with a day of great blues music, and even better classic cars in the heart of downtown! We have merged our popular Blues Music Festival with a Classic Car Show to bring the best of both worlds.

Located in the Foundry plaza, 3rd street, 4th Street and 5th street blocks- between Lincoln and Cleveland, as well as the parking lot at 5th and Lincoln.

We are proud to partner with The Road Knights Car Club to run the car show for the event. The Road Knights will accept classic cars prior to 1980 models. Due to space and capacity- no trailers or large vehicles allowed.

  No registration fee, and cars will be entered and parked first come first serve until we are full (approx. 100 cars). We will start parking cars at 9:00 am- cars must enter 4th and 5th Street from Cleveland Ave ONLY!

NEW for 2024

Due to safety precautions, there will be vehicle barriers at the ends of each street to prevent an unwanted vehicle from entering the car show area (by mistake or maliciously). In order to admit new cars to the show area we will have to move this barrier and will plan to do so at planned periods of time.

Please be understanding if you arrive at the event after 10 am and need to wait a few minutes near by until we can move the barriers at the designated time to allow you to park. You will not be permitted to wait in the traffic lanes on Cleveland Ave.

Cars will be parked with 10 feet per car- no pop-up tents next to cars. Chairs and shades can be set-up in front of cars or behind cars. This is to try to maximize the number of cars in the show.  

Once the car show area is full- overflow show cars can park in any available spaces downtown or in a parking lot.
