Micheal and his team have gone to great lengths to welcome everyone. It’s different from the concourse show and much different than years past. If you haven’t been there in a few years – you owe it to stop down and stay the day.
Dan Riedel
Chairperson of Cruisn’ The Grove
If you like walking down the middle of a small town among cool rides – then you will want to attend Cruisn’ The Grove. The town of Elm Grove closes of one of their busiest streets which is lined with small shops and “non-chain” restaurants.
This show has a tradition of bringing nostalgic dragsters, motorcycles, imports and hot rods.
In addition, Dan and his team enlist youngsters to perform judging duties. With the help of Hagerty Insurance the kids are trained by long standing owners on what to look for when judging a vehicle.
