The 8th Annual "CRUZ IN DOWNTOWN" attracted over 50,000 Winnipeggers to experience fun and excitement in Downtown Winnipeg! This year's day long event is expected to triple the scope and energy of last year's festival.

Winnipeg, per capita, is the classic, collector and special interest vehicle capital of Canada. Thousands of Manitobans enjoy the hobby of preserving, restoring and enjoying these types of vehicles with family and friends, which is evident throughout the summer as approximately 60 Manitoba car clubs hold their weekend Show & Shine Events celebrating this ever-growing hobby.



On Saturday, August 9th, Downtown Winnipeg will host the 9th Annual "CRUZ IN DOWNTOWN". The following streets will be closed for the event:


  • St. Mary Avenue (between Vaughan & Carlton)
  • York Avenue (between Kennedy & Carlton)
  • Kennedy Street (between Graham & Broadway)
  • Edmonton Street (between Graham & Broadway)

  • The event begins with a parade of classic automobiles departing from the Canad Inn Stadium @ NOON SHARP. The parade will make its way East down Portage Avenue, South on Memorial Blvd., and East on York Avenue where the vehicles will park along the closed roadways.

    There will be a block party, hosted by local merchants and restaurants, that will include a vast array of live entertainment on various stages, bars, patios and BBQs, and activities for kids of ALL ages.

    All proceeds from "CRUZ IN DOWNTOWN" will be donated to
    The Rainbow Society
    .


    The 8th AnnualCruz In Downtown raised $10,150.00 & had the pleasure of sending a little girl & her family to Disneyworld in Florida.

    Many other events will be taking place throughout the day:

  • Vendor's Row
  • Face Painting / Hair Painting
  • Buskers (street performers)
  • Petting zoo
  • Kids Inflatable
  • Carnival Games
  • Enjoy lots of great food & entertainment along Restaurant Row!
