Two days of classic cars cruising downtown
Catch the Friday night cruise and Saturday show as classics fill downtown Coeur d’Alene—an easy family-friendly weekend for photos and nostalgia.
Event details
Downtown Coeur d’Alene becomes a living car museum for one June weekend, when Car d’Lane brings 300+ vintage vehicles to Sherman Avenue for a Friday evening cruise (typically 5-8 p.m.) and a Saturday morning show-and-shine that turns City Park and nearby streets into rows of gleaming chrome, paint, and Detroit steel. You’ll see everything from 1950s Chevrolets to muscle-era Mustangs, with owners on hand to talk restoration stories and engine specs.
Friday’s cruise is pure rolling theater: claim a sidewalk spot near 4th or 10th Street by 4:30 p.m., bring a folding chair, and watch the parade of classics loop through downtown. Saturday’s show runs 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the best light for photos hitting between 9-11 a.m. June weather in North Idaho typically sits around 70-75°F, so dress in layers and bring sunscreen for the open park setting. Parking fills early on Saturday, so walk from your rental or use the free downtown shuttle.
Turn it into a lakeside weekend by booking a property near Independence Point or Sanders Beach through Lake.com, where you’ll have evening access to the waterfront boardwalk and Sunday morning paddleboard rentals. Pair the car show with brunch at Hudson’s Hamburgers (open since 1907) or dinner at Capone’s (established 1977) for old-school Coeur d’Alene atmosphere that matches the vintage vibe.
