The Great Labor Day Cruise was presented at the Orange County Fair Ground’s in Costa Mesa, CA.

Celebrating its 35th year, this event is one of the largest and longest running car shows in the nation. They provide a 150 acre venue and non-stop cruising around a 2.25 mile cruise route.

The best way to enjoy this event is to stay there for 3 days in your trailer, or motorhome. Watch as these cool hot cars cruise into the night. The great Labor Day cruise is a camp-out like none other.

Over a 175 motorhomes found a great spot to enjoy the view. 100’s of classic cars gathered with car families and friends that may not have seen each other for a year or more, reunite for 3 days of cruising, good food, visiting with old friends, making new friends, checking out some of the vendors offerings, and generally relaxing.

This year the Great Labor Day Cruise is supporting the Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station. They strive to be the leading force in assisting and supporting the military men and women who have so bravely served and sacrificed for our country.

Thanks for the Show!!

NOTE; The rumor suggesting, “this is the last year of The Great Labor Day Cruise”, is completely false! This correct information is from event organizer, Darrell Moore.
