The annual Cruisin’ Night & Block Party in Penn Yan will now be hosted by the Downtown Business Council of Penn Yan (DBC), marking a new chapter for this annual summer tradition.
This transition ensures the event continues to thrive while strengthening its ties to Penn Yan’s vibrant downtown district. The Chamber has proudly hosted Cruisin’ Night for many years, bringing classic cars, live music, and community fun to Main Street. As the event has grown, the Chamber recognized the opportunity to align it more closely with the businesses and merchants at the heart of the celebration. The DBC, dedicated to promoting and enhancing the downtown Penn Yan experience, is positioned to build on the event’s success while creating new opportunities for local businesses, participating vehicles their owners, and visitors alike.
“This transition is a win-win for our community,” said Jessica Bacher, President of the Yates County Chamber of Commerce. “Cruisin’ Night has always been about celebrating the energy and charm of downtown Penn Yan, and the Downtown Business Council of Penn Yan is the perfect organization to take the reins. We’re confident they’ll continue to make it an outstanding experience for car enthusiasts, families, and local businesses.”
Bacher added the Chamber remains committed to supporting the event and collaborating with the DBC to ensure a seamless transition. She said plans are already underway to make the 2025 Cruisin’ Night, scheduled for June 6th, the best yet, with exciting enhancements to keep the tradition fresh and engaging.
