Things to Keep in Mind

East 185th St. will NOT be closed and regular traffic will be maintained. The mix of regular traffic and cruising convertibles will only add to the lively atmosphere of E.185th St.

This is not a parade so throwing things from your vehicle is prohibited. Your vehicle must be road-worthy at all times and all traffic laws (including seat belts and child safety seats) must be observed.

Your First Lap

We will gather at Muldoon’s parking lot just before 5pm. A VW Passat Wagon will lead our first cruise lap and then you are free to cruise, eat, cruise, shop as you wish.

During the Cruise

Show off your holiday spirit as you cruise the official cruise route! Turn up the festive music on your car stereos and wave to other participants as well as spectators enjoying the spectacle.

You do not have to Cruise the entire time! You are encouraged to pull over and visit the many unique merchants that line the areas. Be sure to take advantage of the many specials and attractions they are offering during the evening.

Be sure to visit the boutiques and eateries of East 185th St.!

Perhaps do a few laps before warming up with a hot beverage. A few more turns on the route and then enjoy some of the special displays or do a little Holiday shopping of your own.

If you see a friend by all means take them along so they can experience the evening from your perspective! As long as all driving rules are followed you can enjoy the Cruise with friends and family. Feel free to drop off some passengers to shop along East 185th St. or pull over if you see a friend and have them join you for a lap or two.

You can start and stop cruising as many times as you'd like

The event will take place regardless of the weather. If it’s raining the obvious difference is that convertibles will likely have their tops up. However, the merchants will still be offering all their special attractions for the evening so the Holiday Spirit will still be enjoyed.

Show off your ornament collection.

You are invited to show-off your 2010 Candy Cane Cruise ornament by hanging it from your rearview mirror and sun visors.

A limited quantity of 2010 Candy Cane Cruise on East 185th St. Commemorative Ornaments will be available for $5 at the registration table for purchase the night of the Cruise exclusively at the Registration Table.

Remember, area eateries and taverns will still be open long after official Cruise hours so enjoy a great dinner or beverage on
East 185th St.!
