Chillicothe Cruise Night

Downtown Chillicothe came alive with the sight of vintage automobiles, muscle cars, and custom rides meticulously restored and proudly displayed by car enthusiasts from near and far. On July 19th, the Chillicothe Lion's Club hosted its 36th annual Chillicothe Cruise Night in the beautiful downtown square. The cruise night draws car enthusiasts and locals from the surrounding area with its vibrant showcase of classic and custom vehicles, lively atmosphere, and community spirit

Classic cars, hot rods, and custom vehicles cruised the downtown square, showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of their owners. Spectators had the opportunity to view various makes and models, each with its unique story. The cruise traveled to several local nursing homes before circling back down Washington Street and around the downtown square. This year the cruise had a record breaking participation with 347 vehicles. 

In addition to the impressive display of automobiles, attendees grooved to music from the 50s and 60s provided by KCHI and indulged in delicious food from Cooksey’s Kettle Corn and MyTy’s Snow Cones. 

Whether you're a car enthusiast, a local resident, or a visitor passing through, Chillicothe Cruise Night gives you the opportunity to join in on the excitement and experience the magic of classic cars, create memories with friends and family, and support the vibrant downtown community of Chillicothe.
