Downtown Auburn is THE place to be for the popular Friday ACD Festival Cruise-In.

Previous years have brought up to 700 cars to this event! Hot rods, muscle cars, imports, and everything in between descend upon downtown Auburn for this event. Stroll around the historic Auburn courthouse to take in the sights and sounds of this unique display of automobiles. Check out the “9th Street Experience”, located between Jackson and Main, to see the stars of the show--the Auburns, Cords and Duesenbergs of the ACD Club.

A fan-favorite ACD Festival event! ACD Club members from around the world drive their magnificent classic cars through Auburn Streets--with review at the courthouse square. After the parade, these classics are parked around the courthouse square for your viewing. This year’s Parade of Classics will feature the “Year of the Duesenberg, Celebrating its Racing History”. See the parade VIPs, including our parade Grand Marshal, and the Baron Brigade Marching Band from DeKalb High School. Keep your eyes peeled for NATM’s big red Futurliner #10, as it makes its way down the parade route, too.
