Cruisin' Night 2025

Yates County Chamber of Commerce Passes the Torch for Cruisin’ Night to Downtown Business Council of Penn Yan

Penn Yan, NY – March 27, 2025 – The Yates County Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that the beloved Cruisin’ Night & Block Party will now be hosted by the Downtown Business Council of Penn Yan (DBC), marking an exciting new chapter for this annual summer tradition. This transition ensures the event continues to thrive while strengthening its ties to Penn Yan’s vibrant downtown district.

The Chamber has proudly hosted Cruisin’ Night for many years, bringing classic cars, live music, and community fun to Main Street. As the event has grown, the Chamber recognized the opportunity to align it more closely with the businesses and merchants at the heart of the celebration. The DBC, dedicated to promoting and enhancing the downtown experience, is perfectly positioned to build on the event’s success, while creating new opportunities for local businesses, participating vehicles and their owners, and visitors alike.

“This transition is a win-win for our community,” said Jessica Bacher, President of the Yates County Chamber of Commerce. “Cruisin’ Night has always been about celebrating the energy and charm of downtown Penn Yan, and the Downtown Business Council of Penn Yan is the perfect organization to take the reins. We’re confident they’ll continue to make it an outstanding experience for car enthusiasts, families, and local businesses.”

The Chamber remains committed to supporting the event and collaborating with the DBC to ensure a seamless transition. Plans are already underway to make the 2025 Cruisin’ Night, scheduled for Friday, June 6th, the best yet, with exciting enhancements to keep the tradition fresh and engaging.
