Cruizin Chelan Classic Car Show returns to downtown May 30–31

CHELAN – The annual Cruizin Chelan Classic Car Show will return to downtown Chelan on May 30–31, bringing with it hundreds of classic vehicles, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities for the region’s premier summer kickoff event.

Hosted by the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce, the two-day celebration draws car enthusiasts from across the Pacific Northwest to the shores of Lake Chelan. Now in its 19th year, Cruizin Chelan has become a signature event for the community and one of the largest gatherings of classic cars in the area.

“Cruizin Chelan is more than a car show—it’s a celebration of community, craftsmanship, and our small-town charm,” said Mike Steele, Executive Director of the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce. “We can’t wait to welcome back our regulars and greet new cruisers for another unforgettable weekend.”

The festivities begin Friday evening with the popular Cruise Parade, where participants will drive their vintage vehicles from the 12 Tribes Lake Chelan Casino to Miller’s Lake Chelan Auto Museum.

Throughout the weekend, downtown Chelan will feature a Show & Shine display of custom hot rods, classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Attendees can also enjoy live music, a beer garden, and a vendor market with food trucks and local businesses.

Children’s activities will include games such as cornhole, giant Connect Four, Jenga, and more.

Registration for vehicle participants is now open at cruizinchelan.com, with early bird registrants receiving exclusive event merchandise if registered by May 1.

The event is free for spectators and open to all ages.

The Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1931, supports nearly 500 local businesses and works to drive economic growth through leadership, advocacy and promotion that enhances the region’s quality of life.
