September 2, 2023 — I thought this year's Cruising Downtown car show in Manchester, New Hampshire, the latest of fourteen I've attended, appeared to be the biggest ever. When I heard the estimates, 1,100 show cars and 30,000 to 40,000 spectators, I decided my impressions were correct. Closing nine blocks of the main drag, Elm Street, several side streets, a few parking lots, the spacious Veteran's Memorial Park, and almost the entire length of the Notre Dame Bridge across the Merrimack River to local traffic and filling them with a huge variety of show cars puts this annual event among the largest car shows in New England.
The show is sponsored by the Manchester Rotary Club. Proceeds benefit non-profits. I won't take up a lot of your time describing it here. My inadequate effort to cover it all in photos and a video can be seen at this link:
