WINDSOR, ONTARIO – Downtown Windsor is the heart of our community, bringing together local businesses, restaurants, entertainment, arts, and year-round events to make it a destination for all residents and visitors. From strolling through the Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings to rocking out at a street concert, there is something for everybody in the city’s core.

This summer, we’re excited to welcome the return of the Ouellette Car Cruise, a celebration of classic cars, automotive history, and gearhead spirit. Whether you’re a lifelong car enthusiast or simply looking for a great day out with family and friends, the event offers an opportunity to experience downtown in a unique way while supporting local businesses along the route.

The excitement doesn’t end when the cruise wraps up. Keep the celebration going at the Official Ouellette Car Cruise After Party, beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Chatham Street, featuring The Destroyer, one of North America’s premier KISS tribute bands. It’s the perfect way to cap off an incredible day with live music, great company, and the vibrant energy of Downtown Windsor.

The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association invites everyone to explore our shops, patios, cafés, and attractions before and after the cruise, and experience firsthand why Downtown Windsor continues to be a vibrant place to live, work, and visit.
