Some changes are coming to Chatham’s RetroFest.
According to the Downtown Chatham BIA, the route for the Classic Car Cruise has changed, due to growing safety concerns.
Scheduled for May 25th, the route begins on Richmond Street, left onto Bloomfield, right onto 8th Line, left onto AD Shadd, left onto Middle Line (old 98 Hwy), left onto Bloomfield, right onto 8th Line, left Bloomfield, right onto 6th Line, left onto Howard Rd, right on Indian Creek Rd, left onto Lacroix, and right onto Wellington St. West.
At the intersection of Wellington and 2nd Street, the cars will be split into separate directions to loop King Street in downtown Chatham.
Meantime, organizers are benefiting from a $1000 sponsorship from J. Quaglia Law to support the entertainment, provided by Summit Shows Canada.
“RetroFest has been a family favourite since our kids were in grade school,” Jon Quaglia says. “RetroFest is an excellent event that highlights what is great about our community and we are happy to contribute.”
