A summer favourite is back in Kitchener this Friday.

Cruising on King returns to the downtown core, with pre-1986 classic cars making their way down King Street over a half-kilometer stretch of the street.

The event runs 5:30 – 9:30 p.m. Friday.

The vintage vehicle showcase will also feature live music and food.

This includes Tina Turner and Neil Diamond tribute shows.

Elvis tribute artist Shon Carroll will also be out all night long.

A full schedule can be found here.
