Cars queue up along Madison St. for Lansdale Cruise Night 2018.
As most large-scale events have been laid to waste across the North Penn area by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, one local favorite is poised to buck the trend on Saturday night.
Discover Lansdale’s 10th Annual Lansdale Cruise Night will take place in downtown Lansdale on Sept. 19 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., though the event has been modified and will be missing some of the features of years’ past.
“This is not the way we expected to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lansdale Cruise Night… no pre-cruise car show, no band and no awards,” said Bill Henning, the event’s organizer. “But, we do invite you to join us for a cruise down Main Street in Lansdale, make a lap or two or more along the old cruise route and, at some point, make a turn onto Madison Street, where there will be a drop off food collection location.”
Henning said the event is open to all cars, though “cool cars are cooler.” Participants must abide by all traffic laws and burnouts are strictly prohibited. No exhaust flames or hydraulics are permitted, and the prohibition of open alcohol containers in public spaces remains in effect.
When exiting vehicles, participants are asked to please wear a mask.
The event also serves as an annual food drive for Manna on Main Street. That tradition will continue this year, however those who wish to donate will do so by driving to the collection point at Madison Street, where they will then hand off their donation without getting out of their vehicle. Henning said organizers will be wearing proper protection attire.
Participants are asked to bring a minimum of three canned goods. For more information on the event, please click here.
