Cruisin' Grand Escondido

Cruisin' Grand Escondido Largest Weekly Car Cruise west of the Mississippi We call it Hot Rod Heaven! Cruisin' Grand is honored to be called one of the best cruises in the country.

We try to keep it simple, and focus only on what works with our community history, i.e. 1973 and earlier American-made Classics, Customs, Vintage, Muscle, and Hot Rods cruising Grand Ave, just like they did 50-60- years ago, on a Friday night, hopefully shoulder-to-shoulder with a date! We invite those same cars to park on Grand Avenue and side streets and enjoy the early 50's setting of downtown
