NAPA Auto Parts - Antique & Classic Cruise-In

The Antique and Classic Car Cruise-In will be back for another great year! Thanks to NAPA Auto Parts for being this year’s Cruise-In sponsor!

Staging for the Cruise-In will take place on Elizabeth Street (enter via 2nd Ave NE). Parking will begin at 4 PM, once the streets have been cleared. We understand your vehicle may run hot, our volunteers work hard each month to make this process painless and efficient! Thanks to our staging area sponsor Integrity Auto Group.

For the safety of attendees, we ask that cruise-in participants do not exit the area until the event is over. We have thousands of attendees each month and the streets are packed. If you think you might need to leave early, contact the Chamber to see if arrangements can be made; 256-734-0454.
