(La Porte, IN) - An antique car show is coming to downtown La Porte.  The Board of Public Works and Safety on Tuesday approved a request to close a portion of Monroe Street and State Street for the outdoor event scheduled June 18.

Jessica Bruder, Director of Communications for the city, said vehicles taking part in the 50’s cruise-in night will be parked on State Street  She said artisans will be set up on Monroe Street

Other things like a beer garden, vendors and live music will make that area of the downtown a gathering place that evening.  “There will be seating for eating.  Live music. All of that good stuff,” Bruder said.

It’s the first in a series of “Friday Night Live” events planned for that area equipped with overhead lights above Monroe Street just north of Lincolnway.
