End your summer with a weekend of fun at Atascadero’s Cruisin’ Weekend!
The weekend kicks off with the 33rd annual Hot El Camino Cruise Nite on Friday, with over 150 beautiful vintage cars cruising up and down El Camino Real. There’s a whole new route this year, covering more than a mile! Choose your favorite spot on the route to hang out and watch the cars roll by, or check out the shops downtown.
After the cruise Friday night, head over to Atascadero Lake Park on Saturday for the Mid-State Cruizers Car Show! The car show lets you get up close and personal with the vintage cars, offering a unique view of a wide variety of cars. Registration is still open for both the Cruise and the Car Show, so check out the event website if you have a cool car to show off!
Ending the weekend is the 10th annual Dancing in the Streets in the Sunken Gardens. Enjoy live music, food trucks, bounce houses, and all of the downtown shops and restaurants.
All three events are free and family friendly, making this the perfect start to the school year! Go out and enjoy the weekend with your neighbors and experience the best Atascadero has to offer in beautiful Sunken Gardens.
