Mother Nature appears to be onboard with a fabulous July 4th with a fantastic forecast for this month's First Friday's Cruise-in to Hope from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Friday on the Hope Town Square downtown.
This FREE event will start a bit earlier than normal, according to organizers.
The evening's entertainment will be provided by local band favorite Cottonpatch.
The cruise-in 2025 season welcomes cars, trucks, and motorcycles of all makes and models to participate.
Dash plaques will be offered at the red registration tent with each $10 donation/entry.
Local vendors will offer food and drinks for purchase.
These cruise-in events are made possible with collaboration from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, Elwood Staffing, Main Street of Hope, and Indiana Main Street.
Proceeds from Friday's event will benefit the Hope Volunteer Fire Department.
