Event held (April to September)

The Best Classic American Car Cruise in So Cal according to out-of-towners who pack the sidewalks every Friday!

The Best Cruise in the entire country, according to Drive Magazine writers!

Cruisin' Grand promotes the Glory Days of the American Automobile with an open cruise night for 300–400 of the hottest American-made, 1973 and earlier classic cars and trucks, every Friday night from April through September, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the 120-year-old downtown commercial district of Escondido.

Cruisin' Grand takes you back to a time of bobby socks, date nights, coming-of-age, and black and white TVs. Old friendships are rekindled and favorite tunes fill the air. Attendance is over 6,000 on any given Friday, with thousands more on Special Attraction nights. What are you waiting for?

Parking for event-era cruisers is on Grand Avenue, and side streets, from Escondido Boulevard to Ivy Street (5 blocks).

North and South Broadway is pre “Reserved” by local and regional Car Clubs whose members drive American-made cars of that era.

Awards nightly for five selected cars. No pre-registration. No fees. Just fun!

Restaurants, cafes, pubs, specialty retail stores open late.

Family-friendly event: Hula Hoops, Name That Tune contests.
