I was afraid that 2020 Cruise Nite isn’t going to happen and I was right.
See you early on the last Friday, My first time and I will be driving my 1969 Citroen Station Wagon. Hope I make it in. Planning to be there at staging by 3:30,
what time will the 911 Ceremony Take Pl. because we might miss it if we’re in a restaurant eating at the time?
The ceremony starts at 7
I plan to bring my 1960 MGA this Friday, Sept 13. Since it is my first time and I have no idea what to expect in terms of lines, waiting etc, can somebody give me advice as to when to arrive, where to park, wait etc
We are expecting a large turn out Friday night. It might be wise to arrive between 3 and 3:30. You will need to park in a regularly marked parking spot. At 4, we will start turning the cars at the top of Lincoln Way. You MUST be at your car no later than 4. Please wait until one of our volunteers tells you it is your turn to turn your car. They are the people in the yellow vests. As far as telling you where there is a good spot to park to wait prior to 4, there really isn’t one.
I have a 1951 ford sedan I would like to enter, how do I register and what is the cost for September 13th?
There is no entry fee, just show up. We expect a big turn out for September. It will be our last of the season and we will also be having a 9-11 ceremony. You may want to come before 4 pm. If you do, please park in the regular parking spots until you are instructed by one of your volunteers that it is your turn to turn you car. They are the people in the yellow vests. We invite you to come and enjoy our downtown. If you do come early, you MUST be back to you car no later than 4 pm.
Ok found it lol..looks like fun
Glad you found the info and are joining us tonight.
Hello how do I put a car in the snow ?
Please read the rules page on this site. There is no charge and no registration to bring your car. Space is on a first come, first served basis. If you arrive before 5, please park in designated street parking spaces until one of our volunteers instructs you to turn your car. We usually have a good turnout in May because it is the first of the summer. You may want to come early. If you do, you MUST be back at your car by 4 so you will be there to turn your car. We hope to see you. Stop by the information table in front of Union Bank and say high.
With the gold country fair going on, and the grass valley car show this weekend, and the motorcycle racing, is the September 7th Friday cruise nite still happening?

Oops, I meant the September 8th cruise nite.
Yes. FYI, friday is Sept 8th. Hope you can make it.
What years allowed for cars
1972 and older. This and other important information can be found on the RULES page. Hope you can make it.
Is this just Friday or is it Saturday also
Yes, it is just friday nights
Where do the VW’s tend to meet? Is it a planned location? Is there a contact person to join them?
There is no particular place for VW’s. Spots cannot be saved by anyone or group. To be fair to everyone, parking is on a first come/first served basis.
I’m going to do an On the Road report about Cruise Night for KAHI Radio in Auburn. One question – on this page, it says the event is from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on the About page, it says 4:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m. Which time is correct? Thanks!
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It’s those little things that trip me up. Hours are 4-9.

Do I need to register my car to show, or just show up?
There is no registration and no fee. Just come and have a good time. September is our last for this year. It is always well attended. We will be having a 9/11 program. Hope you will be there.
Make sure you read the “Rules” page.
Do all the cars still park facing forward, then at 5:00 all back out and back into the spaces? I watched that part of it one year and it was amazing how they all did that without hitting each other.
Yes, that is the proceedure. And our volunteers do a super job getting the cars turned. Hope to see you there.
I have a 1959 Ranchero with a matching 1960 fiberglass boat. I will be at Donner Lake for the entire month of July 2016 and it is only a short drive to Auburn. Can you accommodate a car and boat at your July 8, 2016 show?
Bill
Bill,
I’m sorry but our event is limited to cars only. If you get a chance, please bring your Ranchero.
there have been trailers there before, this would be a unique combo set up to see.
I’m sorry, but no trailers.
Are weather conditions a concern?
Weather conditions have never been an issue. Keep thinking good thoughts and hopefully they never will be.
Do you sell shirts at the car get together? If so whats the cost?
We do not sell shirts but our vendor Special Tees does. They design a new shirt every year. Please stop by their booth.
Do you plan to have booths for vendors? We are a solar company and are interested.
Thank you
We have limited space on the street for vendors because each space eliminates spots for 3 cars. And we are all about the cars. The spaces that are available are already taken for this year. We also try to limit vendors to car related products and food/drink products.
Thank you for your interest.
Love your car show but missed it last year unfortunatley and could not purchase a teeshirt and was wondering if I can buy a 2015 shirt online since I live in the Bay Area ? If so can you email me back info on how to get one thanks Tim McDonald
Our tee shirt vendor is Special Tees in Auburn. Contact them to see if they have any shirts left. Their phone number is 530-888-8200. Hope to see you this summer
Your post says come early because parking fills up about 5pm, is there a limit to how many cars are allowed?
Would we be turned away if we’re not early enough?
Just trying find out how that works.
Thx,Jeff
Jeff,
Thanks for your comment. We try to accommodate everyone that comes. We had 321 cars on the street in May. May and September are the months with the most participation. The best entry point is Elm Ave at Lincoln Way. Many people start coming at 3 or 4 to get a spot. But we have cars coming in a little after five too. Just remember, if you come before 5 you MUST park in a marked parting spot until you are told by a staff member to turn your car. There is also a time limit posted that is in effect before 5 pm. If you come early to shop and enjoy Auburn, you MUST be at your car by 4 pm. Hope to see you in June
a fun place for everyone!!!!
Wish I was going tonight. Got the granddaughter, so see you in June.

So, if I come from Sacramento at 345pm will there be a space for my 69 El Camino?
Since there is no registration at this event, it is on a first come first served basis. I cannot guarantee anything, but we welcome you to come.

It amazing to think how long Auburn Cruise Night has been going on! I can remember getting the 1969 RS Camaro shined up in high school “1989” to be precise and meeting all our friends with intentions of late night fun and drags! Nice to see even after many have moved away and times have changed, the friendly atmosphere still lives on! Always a fun time!
My first time at cruise night ,and had a great time.Great food,great people and best of all, great cars. How can you beat that !!!!!
I enjoy these annual/monthly events in Auburn because it’s friendly, casual, shops are inviting, participants are friendly, weather is wonderful, music and the ginger martini sat Club Car!
Do you know of any other car shows close to Sacramento like yours? My son (14) loves cars of all types and it seems we might be late in the season. He would love to go to the Neillo Serrano car show on the 6 Oct but tickets are to expensive for us. Any info you have would be appreciated.
Debby – this reply comes pretty late but if your son is still interested keep an eye out for EuroSunday’s monthly car shows. Wide range of cars from muscle cars to European exotics, they meet at different spots in the Sacramento metro area on Sunday mornings. Locations in the last year have been Rocklin, Folsom, Sacramento, and El Dorado Hills. Their site listing date and locations are here:

The July meet is July 27 at Mansour’s Rug Gallery in Roseville. A good group of cars is usually present by 8:30AM, and people start filtering out by 10:30AM or so.
