Ypsilanti’s Historic Depot Town is filled with classic cars from the first Thursday evening in June to the last Thursday evening in August. They start gathering before the street is closed at 5 PM and enjoy summer evenings filled with music from the 50s and 60s until darkness takes over. Owners and spectators talk about cars, have ice cream cones at Ollie’s Cafe, eat a Mexican dinner at Maize, or feast on a burger and beer at the Sidetrack or Aubree’s. Children participate in hula hoop and other contests.

Sponsored by the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum and Depot Town merchants, a 50/50 makes winners out of participants and helps cover the expense of the evenings.
