Downtown Greensboro will venture back in time as classic cars line North Main Street on Saturday, Sept, 21 from 4-8 p.m. at the Rock n’ Roll Days Cruise-In. The free event will feature more than 100 classic and antique cars and entertainment by The Grains of Sand band from Athens.

The Grains of Sand Band, an energetic, experienced group of musicians, whose charisma and enthusiasm packs the dance floor while keeping their audience groovin’ to the beat, will delight attendees this year.  Strong vocals added to the driving rhythm of the percussion and brass give the band a full sound and allows them to play a wide range of memorable tunes from beach, soul, Motown and, of course, the favorites from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.  So, dust off your dancing shoes, practice your “cool moves” and plan to dance the night away under the stars in downtown Greensboro.

The event is sponsored by Jimmy Britt Chevrolet-Buick-GMC dealership of Greensboro and hosted by Greensboro based Georgia Classic Cruiser Car Club and the Greensboro Main Street program.

“The Rock n’ Roll Days Cruise-In is on the best events in downtown Greensboro,” states John Smith, Georgia Classic Cruiser member. “This event brings thousands of people to town and I’m glad our local car dealership, Jimmy Britt, is such a huge supporter of this event and our car club.”

For car enthusiasts the event will feature antique, classic, vintage, street rods and special interest cars. In addition, the event boasts live music from The Grains of Sand, dancing, shopping, restaurant specials and food concessions to enhance the street-side Cruise-In.

Registration fee for the vehicles is still only $15. The top 25 awards are sponsored again this year by Jimmy Britt Chevrolet-Buick-GMC in Greensboro.

Stories of  “I remember when…,” plenty of  laugher and  “oohs and ahhhs”  will be the tone for the night. While enjoying these vehicles, remember that the owners have spent long hours turning that broken down, rust bucket into a “work of art” just for the love of the car and the memories it brings back.  They all have a story, so take the time to ask them about their cars.

The shops of downtown Greensboro will be open late and ready to meet the scores of visitors in town for the Cruise-In. Many shops will have window décor especially for the event. Diners at the Yesterday Café will step back in time as they will be waited upon by a host of pink ladies, girls in poodle skirts and boys wearing saddle oxfords.

The evening is perfect for a family outing or a gathering of friends.  Bring your lawn chairs and quilts or enjoy the bales of hay set out for your convenience.  Food galore is available at local restaurants.

Enjoy a true Southern gathering in this historic, rural hometown.

The city streets close at 2 p.m. to get ready for the event and cars begin arriving at 3.
