PLAINFIELD, IL — The locally loved Cruise Nights is making its 2024 debut on June 4 in downtown Plainfield.

The car show will return weekly on Tuesday nights through Aug. 20, except July 2 in light of the Fourth of July holiday that week. Each event will last from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

Weekly themes will showcase different car varieties, from Ford Broncos and Mustangs to imports and trucks, among others. Although nights are themed, that doesn't prohibit car enthusiasts from showing off a vehicle outside of the category.
