It was announced at a event in 2008 that the Cruise-In will continue to be at the Riverstone Parkway location for all of the 2009 calendar year.
I have been to this cruise in several times.
There is always a good turn out. You never know what kind of rides will
turn up, there are a lot of different vehicles & some quirky ones
that come out of the woodwork for this cruise in, as there is no judging. I have seen cars and trucks
as far back as the 1910's to brand new cars and highly modified race
cars and everything in between. There is no rhyme or reason as to what
kinds of vehicles will show up. There have been authentic military vehicles and ton
trucks sitting next to slicked out low riders and classic 356 Porsche's next to an old barely running project vehicle.
As of this writing, it is 5 bucks, per car/truck/motorcyle/etc., to park in the roped in,
cruise in area itself. They say they donate the money to a local training school center... it is free to just walk around. Check the Po Boys of Canton website linked above for the latest.
From the Po Boys site:
"We cannot allow you to save spaces for late arrival after 5:30pm. We
are typically full around 6:30pm."
The event is 5-9pm, in my experience there are usually plenty of cars there at 4:30pm or even before.
There are the usual burgers and hot dogs at a stand and some other
eating joints around the Riverstone Shopping Center itself. There is also a big Publix grocery
store if you just want to buy something in there.
There is the usual PA system with the seemingly required feedback
and music being played way too loud, so beware. Sometimes they turn it down, sometimes they don't.
If rain is not in the forecast and it is a nice evening, there will be bunches of rides there. By bunches I mean, easily 500 vehicles in attendance. This will change depending on if it is football season or if there is some kind of a big motor sports event on TV. I noticed one year that one of the big Georgia football rivalry games was on the same night and people vanished at about 7pm.
There are very few trailer queens at this event. This is a family friendly event, with kids of all ages running around so if you have an aversion to that sort of thing, don't bring your ride.
