March 9, 2011 (El Cajon)--The 2011 season of the Cajon Classic Cruise has added additional shows, theme nights and will start a month earlier than previously announced.
“Cajon Classic Cruise will roll out 31 shows in 2011, nearly double the number of shows presented last year," said Kathryn Courter of the El Cajon Community Development Corporation, which organizes the annual downtown El Cajon car show.
Opening Night of the popular Cajon Classic Cruise has been moved up four weeks to Wednesday, April 6, and a number of additional Theme Nights have been added. (See complete schedule below.) Now in its 11th season, the weekly car show will run every Wednesday night through October 26 from 5-8 p.m., with a special Holiday Parade of Lights Show on December 7, 2011.
A summer tradition in downtown El Cajon, the Cajon Classic Cruise car show was conceived and is organized each year by the El Cajon Community Development Corporation, a non-profit community organization. The Cajon Classic Cruise has grown into Southern California’s largest weekly classic car show.
Admission is free to the Cajon Classic Cruise, which features more than 500 classic, custom and hot rod cars and motorcycles valued at more than $10 million presented weekly within a lively street festival setting. The Cajon Classic Cruise is centered on East Main Street at Prescott Promenade, just east of the intersection of Main and Magnolia. Thousands of spectators each week stroll El Cajon’s historic downtown district while enjoying the cars, the action, restaurants, street vendors, food, DJs, and live entertainment presented amid a vibrant small town atmosphere.
In planning for the past several months, the 2011 Cajon Classic Cruise season will be bigger and last longer. “We have expanded the season by several weeks this year, and we’ve scheduled even more cars and bikes,” said Courter.
Presented by Sycuan Casino and the El Cajon Community Development Corporation, the Cajon Classic Cruise offers new attractions each week, including awards for the top cars, parades, special salutes, and a variety of themed events, like Funny Car Frenzy, A Salute to the U.S. Military, and Dragsters! Dragsters! Dragsters! Cajon Classic Cruise 2011 will also feature special entertainment, raffles, and more. Trophies are awarded weekly in several categories and all cars are welcome to enter.
