Join the Loveland Downtown District from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, May 18, and kick off the summer with a day of great blues music and even better classic cars in the heart of downtown. The district has merged its popular Blues Music Festival with a Classic Car Show to bring you the best of both worlds. This event is free and open to the public.
The district is proud to be partnering with The Road Knights Car Club for this downtown event. The Road Knights will accept classic cars prior to 1980 models. Due to space and capacity, no trailers or large vehicles will be allowed. No registration fee is required, and cars will be entered and parked first-come, first-serve, until the spots are full (approx. 100 cars). Once the car show area is full, overflow show cars can park in any available spaces downtown or in a parking lot.
Classic cars can be viewed in the Foundry Plaza, 3rd Street, 4th Street and 5th Street blocks between Lincoln and Cleveland avenues, as well as the parking lot at 5th Street and Lincoln Avenue. Live blues music will be playing on 5th Street and at the Foundry Plaza throughout the day. Local craft beer and food trucks can also be found in the Foundry Plaza, and additional food trucks will be parked in Sweetheart Alley.
