Cruise In at Camp Jordan

The Chattanooga Cruise In, one of the premier car events in the South, is coming to Camp Jordan this weekend.

The event, with more than 2,000 cars is slated for Saturday, March 30, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is free to the public.

For many years the event was held in Chattanooga, most recently on the Southside at Finley Stadium. Organizers of the event said that more than 10,000 people attended last year’s show. Camp Jordan’s vast expanse will allow for the event to become even larger.

Organizers said that having the event at Camp Jordan will permit more participants in the show, and provide on-site truck and trailer parking.

As always, organizers will have event T-shirts on hand (we’re ordering more than ever), and Coker Tire will have its sales crew on hand for tire, wheel and accessory purchases.
