Another summer of Green Street Cruise Nights is about to begin in downtown McHenry. Check out the calendar of events below and come join the fun on Monday nights.

Classic cars, pony cars, hotrods new and old: they’re coming to McHenry Monday nights, just as they do each year, with the advent of Green Street Cruise Night. That time is almost upon us again – Cruise Night starts in McHenry at 6 p.m., Monday, May 23.

Green Street Cruise Night is a place where local car enthusiasts can showcase their fine automobiles for the pleasure of the viewing public. Some of these cars have undergone hours and hours of restoration, often at considerable expense. Others didn’t require restoration; they were cared for like fine works of art, covered and kept in humidity controlled garages.

Where else could you come Monday nights to find the car you dreamt about in your youth in virtually new condition. There it is, decades later, and looking as though it was just driven off the showroom.

Cars of all the major automakers are on hand, including some that are no longer manufactured, such as Pontiacs and Plymouths. Still, each Cruise Night also features a particular manufacturer or class of car. For instance, if you’re Ford lover, there’s a night when Fords are featured and are present in greater numbers.
