Get ready for the downtown South Boston Cruz-In with vintage cars, trucks and bikes. It’s an annual tradition and the streets are closed for this event so vintage vehicles can line the streets. Hundreds of locals and visitors converge downtown to browse the vehicles, and enjoy delicious food. Thanks to Ernelle Bellamy of Big Fade Entertainment, music from the 50’s and 60’s will rock the downtown streets!
