Car Cruise Returns to Hyde Park, NY Earlier Than Previous Years

The Hyde Park Summer Night Car Cruise is one of the best weekly events that runs through the spring, summer and fall! Last year ended with a spooktacular Trunk-or-Treat event, which honestly, was probably one of the best Halloween events I had seen in general last season.

No, they are not starting off with another Trunk-or-Treat, but they are starting up even earlier than last year!

It was announced on their Facebook Page earlier today:

It's that time!!! Dust them off, fill them up, and bring them out to play!! First show in 2 days! check here after 3:00 for all updates due to weather.

Come and hang out with some old friends and make some new friends! Plus, show off your hot rod to potentially win prizes. The Hyde Park Summer Night Car Cruise will be handing out trophies at the end of each evening.

People can also win the 50/50 raffle, plus other prizes will be raffled off. And as you enjoy your evening, listen to some classic tunes from their live DJ. Song requests are welcomed and encouraged.

I attended many of the weekly car cruises last year, and they were a blast. I would typically get a meatball sub or sausage and peppers from the food truck, I'd walk around and learn more about all the cars, and it was a great check-in with friends.

I ended up running into people I hadn't seen in a long time, and I was able to catch up with them. It's hard to beat hot rods, hot food, and hot music at the end of a hot summer day.

That, and be on the lookout for information on upcoming food vendors. For more information, you can contact Harvey Burns at Goman2469@gmail.com.
