LIVE BLUES MUSIC
Adding a soulful atmosphere to the event live blues music will captivate audiences with renditions of blues greats. The main stage will feature three bands throughout the day. A tribute style salute to our Veterans will kick off the award festivities, with the star spangled banner, and a presentation of the color guard.
WHAT IS THE CRUISE, BBQ & BLUES CAR SHOW?
The event invites thousands of people out to “rev up the weekend” with live oldies music, kids’ activities and great food. With 20 different classes of auto awards given in Best of Show, Best Interior, Best Paint, Best Engine and People’s Choice. SAACA believes that every aspect of an automobile is art, from the headlights and the body of the car, to the seats and dashboard, even each little screw and bolt holding the car together. The event aims to bring the automobile to light as an art form through this spectacular community event, which also supports our Business and Arts integration initiatives.
