Queen City Cruise
The Queen City Cruise has continued to grow since the first cruise in 2003. Car collectors from far and wide find the appeal to show off their cars in the Heritage City. Nelson offers big city cosmopolitan dining, unique and original shopping experiences and comfortable lodging all on our beautiful setting of Kootenay Lake.
The Cruise starts out annually on the second weekend of September. Pre-registration with a wine and cheese get together at the Bogustown Pub in Fairview is Friday at 2 o'clock.
Saturday morning begins our Show and Shine on historic Baker Street in the downtown heart of Nelson. Trophy presentations are at approximately 3:30 pm followed by a poker run and later on in the evening, a rooftop dance at the Nelson Parkade.
Most of our attendants thus far hail from Washington, Idaho, Southern British Columbia and Southern Alberta. The majority are from the Spokane Area with strong representation from the Dukes Car Club, America's oldest established car club.
