The Rotary Club of Hamburg-KeyBank BurgerFest Cruise replaces the former car show on Main Street at the BurgerFest on Saturday, July 16th this year. There is no pre-registration required and there is no cost to participate. Those bringing their entries to the cruise should arrive between 10 a.m. and noon and enter Main Street from Center Street.
The cruise will be open to a larger variety of vehicles, not just classic cars, from noon to 3:30 p.m. The BurgerFest will take place along Main and Buffalo streets and in the Hamburg Village Municipal Parking Lot from 11:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. with the streets closed to traffic until 8 p.m. Live bands, a beer tent and activities will continue in the Municipal Lot until closing.
Two awards will be presented at the close of the cruise at 3:30: the Rotary Club of Hamburg-Keybank BurgerFest Best of Show Award and the People's Choice Award, selected by the crowds on hand. For more information, call Tom Johnston at 716-627-4411. “We are changing the car show to a cruise show, which was necessary because of Covid-19 and because Dr. Sid Jack, founder of the show has retired and moved out of the area,” Johnston said. “A cruise show allows anyone to display their car, truck, motorcycle or unusual vehicle.” Johnston also thanked KeyBank for its longtime sponsorship and support.
