Seventh annual Ouellette Car Cruise makes full return

Whether you're a classic, vintage or muscle car fan, this year's Ouellette Car Cruise will have you covered.

The seventh annual edition of the downtown car show will return in full swing on Friday, August 12, after last year's event was limited due to COVID-19 restrictions.

"Downtown Windsor is excited to be able to once again host hundreds of classic, vintage, and muscle cars from the collections of some of the most discerning and stylish drivers this side of Canada," a statement from the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (BIA) read.

The Rendezvous at Riverfront Festival Plaza will start at 1 p.m. Participants will rev their engines for the Cruise at 6 p.m. The Rendezvous and Cruise both end at 10 p.m. A $10 admission fee will be required from all show participants.

Once the cruise begins, participating vehicles will head south on Ouellette Avenue to Tecumseh Road East. When the drivers reach Pillette Road, they will head south to Riverside Drive before making it back to Ouellette.

Vehicles can be registered for the event online.

Upon arrival, drivers will be given a card to place on their dashboard allowing them to easily leave and re-enter the site.
