Friday Cruise Nights, Live Music Return To Downtown Downers Grove

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Classic cars and live music will once again bring downtown Downers Grove to life on Friday nights, now that the Moose Lodge Cruise Nights and Live Entertainment has kicked off its 2022 season.

Vintage rides will line Warren Avenue between Main Street and Forest Avenue and fill a nearby parking lot every Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. No shows are slated for June 24 or July 1, due to Rotary GroveFest and Fourth of July festivities.

The Moose Lodge debuted this cruise night format in 2021 with a few shows and decided to go all in for 2022, Downtown Downers Grove Management Corporation Executive Director Erin Venezia told Patch.

Venezia said, "We look forward to welcoming Classic Cars to the downtown in a reinvented format."

There is no cost to attend Cruise Nights, but a $10 donation is encouraged for participating cars to benefit nonprofits in and around Downers Grove.

Head to the Main Street Train Station to take in live music from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the Moose Lodge Cruise Nights. The live music schedule for 2022 is as follows:

• May 27: Feed the Llama
• June 3: The Stingers
