The 13th annual River to River Car Cruise returns to downtown Galesburg tonight.
Classic, vintage, antique, and muscle cars will line the streets of downtown starting at 1:00pm this afternoon – and will run until 10:00pm.
To participate in the cruise downtown, registration is free – and the first 200 participants can donate five dollars to receive a gift bag, and door prize for getting involved.
Organizers Kenton and Pam Bowles tells WGIL Galesburg typically sees a real population increase for the event.
“We had about 1,500 automobiles, trucks, motorcycles and about 15,000 people on the streets of Galesburg and the people do come back. We’ve had many of the ladies that like our shops in Galesburg and a lot of the men say what a nice town it is and they make regular trips here,” Pam says.
Food vendors like Bev & Jr’s, Smokin’ Willies, Big Catz BBQ, and the Knox County Triad will be serving in the grass area where the O.T. Johnson building once stood.
Attendees can buy t-shirts, enter the 50/50 drawing, and there’s around 20 different categories of prizes that participants can win.
