4:00 pm – 9:00 pm

This is a large car show open to anyone who wants to show off their ride -that includes old cars, new cars, trucks and motorbikes. The car show is a fantastic place for auto aficionados, hot rodders, gearheads, car crazy people as well as families to gather for a few hours and enjoy the cars, the people and the stories.

$10 Donation at the Entrance

There is no pre-registered entry. Please make your $10 donation as you enter the event. The PVGP is one of the area’s largest charity events and the Cruise is a fundraiser for our autism charity partners so we ask cruisers to make a $10 donation for our charities. A PVGP Race Program will be given for each donation.

Thank you to our Sponsors and Partners

Please get in touch with the Grand Prix’s Cruise event captain Don Privett with any questions about our car cruise.


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.
