Visitors enjoyed the following highlights from Cruisin' 2018.

New for Kids

A Hot Wheels Car Race Competition will be set-up at the show by the Gear Head Mafia Car Club to allow kids to select and race a Hot Wheels car on a specially designed race track. Handsome medals will be awarded to the winners in different age categories and every young competitor will be able to keep the Hot Wheels car provided to them. Cruisin’ is excited to help cultivate a new generation of car enthusiasts.

Shuttle Bus Tour

Cruisin’ is working with the Manchester Historical Society to run a free shuttle van between the car show and the Manchester History Center on Pine Street. By providing easy access between the car show and the History Center, attendees will be able to view Manchester’s automotive history displayed along Main Street and displays of our rich Town history at the History Center. The shuttle stop will be located on Forest Street next the Forest St. Parking Lot and will run from 11AM to 2PM. The Tour and shuttle service are free.
