Crusin’ Grand Returns to Escondido

On Friday hundreds of classic cars return to the streets of Downtown Escondido to kick off another exciting season of Cruisin’ Grand! Cruisin’ Grand runs from 5-9 p.m. every Friday through October 2 along Grand Avenue in historic Downtown Escondido.

To celebrate Cruisin’ Grand’s 2015 season, a special Wine and Craft Beer Festival will add to the fun of Cruisin’ Grand on April 10. Local wineries and craft breweries will offer tastes of their finest selections on the beautiful Maple Street Plaza. Admission to the festival area is $20 and includes 12 drink tickets.

Escondido is proud to have one of the greatest ongoing traditions in San Diego County. Cruisin’ Grand brings thousands of visitors to Escondido every Friday night throughout the summer. This popular event is not only for classic car enthusiasts but for everyone to enjoy strolling along Grand Avenue, stopping in for a bite at one of our many restaurants and people-watching on those warm summer nights. Each Friday night, awards are given to the most impressive pre-1973, American-made cars.

Theme nights include “Fire Truck Night”, “Nitro Night” and “AFX Night.” If you’ve never been there, don’t miss it this season! For more information and a schedule of events, visit www.cruisingrand.com.
