Join us for a spectacular car show open to all—whether you’re showing off a classic, a modern marvel, a truck, or a motorbike! This is the perfect gathering for auto enthusiasts, hot rodders, gearheads, and car lovers of all kinds. Families are also welcome to come enjoy an evening of stunning vehicles, great company, and unforgettable stories. There will be vendors and food available. Enter from E. Waterfront Drive at Chick-fil-A and Chipotle Mexican Grill.

Entry: $10 Donation at the Gate
No pre-registration is required. Simply make your $10 donation upon arrival. All proceeds benefit our autism charity partners as part of the PVGP, one of the region’s largest charitable events.
Each participating vehicle will receive a PVGP sticker at entry.

Thank you to our Sponsors and Partners

If you have any questions about our car cruise, please contact the Grand Prix’s Cruise event captain, Don Privett.


Cruise Rules
We strive to provide a safe and friendly evening for all and we ask our visitors to abide by some simple rules:

  • There is NO saving spaces  – the event fills up almost every year so saving a spot for a friend is not permitted. If you want to park together, we suggest you arrive together.
  • PVGP volunteers will direct you to your parking space
  • Pop-up canopies are not permitted in the cruise area
  • Alcoholic beverages or the consumption of such is strictly prohibited on the premises.
  • For Sale signs and solicitation of vehicles is not permitted.
  • NO solicitation of ANY kind except by approved vendors. Click here for information on becoming a vendor.
  • NO burnouts! We appreciate horsepower as much as anyone, but a crowded shopping center parking lot is not the safest place to do this. If you really want to lay down some rubber why not get a competition license and become a vintage racer!
  • Pets are permitted if on a leash and under the control of the owner. If in the opinion of the PVGP, a pet presents a danger or nuisance to others, the pet owner and pet will be asked to leave.
