Friendly Reminders

All vehicles must enter using the designated route from Route 176 via West Mill Street.

To support our parking team, no exceptions will be made and barricades will not be moved to grant access to the event.

Please DO NOT move barricades or traffic cones.
To ensure all cruisers are parked quickly and efficiently, groups must arrive together if they wish to park together. We do not save spots—no exceptions.

Once you’re parked, your spot is final—we will not relocate vehicles.

Please respect others’ vehicles and property—look, but don’t touch.

Vehicles arriving early will be staged in the Municipal Lot at the corner of West Mill and Maple Street. Main Street parking is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis from this lineup.

At the conclusion of the event, all vehicles must be legally parked by 8:00 PM, as roads will reopen to through traffic at that time.

Only authorized vendors with approved payment are permitted to distribute food.

Please avoid excessive speed, burnouts, engine revving, racing, reckless driving, loud music when leaving, or any behavior that compromises safety—these actions are strictly prohibited. This event takes place on residential streets, and the local residents have been incredibly supportive. We want to maintain that positive relationship. Any violations will result in police intervention.

We encourage all cruisers to use good judgment and show courtesy throughout the event. Our community has been highly supportive, and with your help, we can continue to keep it that way.

Open alcohol is not allowed in public areas.

Respectful behavior toward staff and volunteers is expected at all times. Yelling, profanity, or aggressive actions will lead to removal from the event.
