McMinnville has always been a place that values its history, its community, and the traditions that bring us together. Few events embody that spirit better than Cruising McMinnville, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of cruising “the gut” of downtown McMinnville. That’s why we are proud to recognize Cruising McMinnville as the McMinnville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Member of the Quarter.
More than just a car show, Cruising McMinnville is a powerful economic engine for our local businesses. Each year, this incredible event draws thousands of visitors and locals alike to experience our downtown in its full glory—with classic cars lining the streets, engines rumbling with nostalgia, and the community coming together to celebrate an iconic part of McMinnville’s history.
Beyond the excitement of the cruise, the event provides a huge boost to our local economy. Visitors book hotel stays, dine at our fantastic local restaurants, and shop at our downtown retailers, creating a direct and lasting impact on McMinnville’s business community. What makes this event even more special is that it is entirely volunteer-run—a dedicated crew of passionate individuals who work tirelessly to ensure the event continues to thrive.
If you are a business or community member who wants to see this tradition grow, there are many ways to support Cruising McMinnville. Sponsorships help fund the event, ensuring its long-term success, while volunteers are always needed to assist with logistics, planning, and event-day operations. Your involvement, whether big or small, helps keep this tradition alive for future generations.
