Goshen Cruise-in Car Show
Friday, July 7, 5 – 9 p.m.
Fans of classic and extraordinary cars rejoice! Goshen’s favorite summertime car show returns with a judged competition for multiple vehicle class categories. Make a pit stop at one of the event’s food trucks or cruise by the First Fridays beer garden. DJs will provide a soundtrack sweet enough for anyone to drive off into the sunset. And the smallest cruisers will be able to touch a firetruck, thanks to the Goshen Fire Department!
