Cruise Nights Start Thursday

The annual classic car shows kick off for the summer on May 31.

Cruise Nights have been a highlight of every Barrington summer for the past eight years, and the popular event is slated to start up again this Thursday.

The weekly classic car shows will take place every Thursday from May 31 through August 30 at 6:30 p.m. The free event is located in the parking lot, 201 South Grove Avenue. 

The first Cruise Night of the season will feature Chevy cars. In addition to admiring the cars on display, there will also be food, ice cream, games and prizes. Many shops and restaurants in the area plan to stay open late on Thursday evenings to accommodate Cruise Night patrons.
