The city’s Wednesday, Aug. 4 event has a somewhat different speed, literally. The “Cruise Night” car show takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. at Riverfront Park on 131 E Hydraulic Avenue. Residents can bring their car to the park at the beginning of the event and get a chance to win Best in Show among different car and truck categories.
