Back to the 50s Weekend

(Filed under: Events)

Classic cars of every make, model, vintage and then some have descended upon the Twin Cities, and with them come hundreds of people in lawn chairs lining Snelling Ave. to watch the cruisin'.

So unless you like car watching or sitting in traffic, you might want to avoid Snelling Ave. and the Roseville area, especially near the State Fairgrounds and highway 36.

It's the Minnesota Street Rod Association's 32nd annual Back to the 50s weekend. If you're planning to check it out, tickets are $10 and you might want to consider using a park and ride or taking the bus. You also might be able to get discount tickets at Bumper to Bumper or Champion Autoparts.

Last year the event drew over 10,500 street rods, and most of them spent the weekend driving up and down Snelling Ave.

Update: The Minnesota Street Rod Association is reaching out to younger members with their Ignitors club for people 27 and under.
