2025 Encinitas Cruise Nights
The popular Encinitas Cruise Nights return for 2025 next Thursday May 15.
Classic car buffs and non-aficionados alike enjoy the Encinitas Cruise Nights that take place the 3rd Thursday of each month May through September, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
Here’s the schedule for 2025:
May 15, June 19, July 17, August 14 and September 18.
Local car clubs park their vehicles along Main Street (the Coast Road) in downtown Encinitas where they are easy to admire! You can expect dozens of beautiful cars to ooh and aah over. It’s a giant outdoor showroom of classic cars.
We’ve attended several times and it was great fun, but haven’t been for a number of years now. Perhaps we’ll get there in 2025. Here's a video from a prior visit. Make sure your sound is turned down!
An Evening of Classic Cars in Encinitas
I don’t think you can help but be very impressed by the Woodies, Hot Rods and other classic, vintage, and foreign cars, all in beautiful condition! Cars are so well maintained by their owners and are gorgeous examples of many car brands and style. These are works of art!
The Encinitas Cruise Nights are sponsored by the Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association and take place on Main Street/Route 101 in downtown, between D and K Streets.
Beautiful cars, several live band, and plenty of places to eat, drink and shop make for a terrific spring or summer evening. What a great way to enjoy the Southern California beach town life and community spirit! It is truly a celebration of automotive history and craftsmanship. And there are 5 opportunities to enjoy it!
Plan to arrive early to find the best parking. It gets crowded and parking nearby is limited. Plus some areas of side streets (D through K streets) are permit parking only for the classic cars; be sure to steer clear so you don't get towed.
