Downtown Bellefontaine was buzzing Saturday as the community came together for the 25th annual Hot Summer Nights Cruise-In — the biggest event yet.

Over 400 classic and custom cars lined the streets, drawing thousands of visitors from all over the state for a night full of fun and nostalgia.

The highlight was the parade, where cars cruised through downtown, making it the only local show with a real cruise-in parade.

Car owners registered earlier in the day before lining up for the parade.

Visitors enjoyed checking out the rides, grabbing some food, listening to live music, and exploring local shops as the Top of Ohio Cruisers Car Show filled the streets.

While final numbers aren’t in yet, event organizers say the money raised will go to support a local charity.

The Hot Summer Nights Cruise-In once again proved to be one of the summer’s can’t-miss events in Bellefontaine.
