Main Street Vineland will be organizing this annual Vineland tradition, now in its 29th year, in cooperation with the Cruise Down Memory Lane Committee.

Newfield National Bank is the Plaque Sponsor and Soldiers On Foundation is the T-Shirt Sponsor this year. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.
This event attracts over 1,000 American cars—over one mile of cars—and is open to street rods, muscle cars, stock or custom classics, rat rods, and cruisers.
The gates will open at 2 p.m. at West Avenue and East Avenue and all participating vehicles must enter through the gate. The cars will remain parked for display when the event starts at 3 p.m.. Participants can cruise the Avenue starting at 7 p.m., or remain parked and all traffic laws will be enforced. The event is open to American marque cars only. They must be 1974 or older, unless it is a highly modified late-model or a car entering with a legitimate car club. No motorcycles, bikes, foreign cars, or partially-primed vehicles will be allowed. Period correct cars are allowed upon approval. Admission is subject to the Cruise Down Memory Lane staging and gate personnel. Ineligible vehicles will be towed away at the owner’s expense. No special parking arrangements and no alcoholic beverages will be allowed. Any car club entry must enter the gates with their club.
“Thousands of people—classic car buffs and people just out to have some fun—all love this longtime Vineland tradition which brings back the days of muscle cars, chrome, and fins,” said Main Street Vineland Executive Director Russell Swanson. “We’re proud of this iconic event—which has been going strong for over a quarter of a century and which draws people to Vineland from all over and make our downtown a true summer destination for fun events.”
“We’re especially happy about bring this event back after a year’s absence, and about bringing back the cruise portion of the event—putting the “cruise” back in Cruise Down Memory Lane,” said Main Street Vineland Associate Director Robert Scarpa. “This is good news for all concerned.”
