Cruisin the Gut

On Main St. (Downtown Vancouver) between 4^th St & 28^th St.
Went on July 20^th 2013, but took place all weekend.
Hands down the best collection of vehicles I’ve ever seen in my entire life… I seriously could not snap photos fast enough. AND they have a Chili Cook Off to boot! :-9
This is a free community event that really brings out the Vancouverites in heavy masses and for good reason. This event is so much fun.
Everyone seems to bring out their lounge chairs to view the vehicles with some even bringing their own goods to have a Tailgate Party right where they’ve chosen a spot due to how crowded the local businesses get toward the night time. In previous years businesses that normally are barren most of the time were found to be jam packed to the rafters. The event (in the past) also had an issue with not having enough places for locals to use the restroom… that was rectified at this year’s event which had lots of Port O’ Potties everywhere and fortunately despite their large numbers they did not give off an unappetizing odor.
People of all ages were there with ear to ear smiles even bringing their dogs to give their pets some exercise and change of pace. I included was in a most jovial mood thanks to the large variety of vehicles.
I’d say my favorite vehicle that I saw was this one:
There was a Rock Climbing Wall for kids aged 5 – 12.
There was even live music available at Turtle Place Park.
