LaSalle County Street Cars and Heritage Harbor will be hosting a special parade and car show, starting at 3PM on Saturday, July 4th! An impressive selection of cars from the club will parade around Heritage Harbor, the scenic marina-front resort community, located just a fews miles from both Downtown Ottawa and Interstate 80. Heritage Harbor homeowners will be sitting on their porches and enjoying the cars driving by during the parade, but you can be a part of the show festivities too!
When the parade is over, call the cars will park in the lot just outside of Red Dog Grill, the community's delicious on-site restaurant. There, they'll be setting up a pop-up car show so you can admire these impressive pieces of engineering for yourself. After months of being kept in garages and under tarps, this July 4th party will be a great opportunity to see some unique and awesome rides!
Not everyone in your party is interested in cars? There will be more than just high performance vehicles to entertain you out at Heritage Harbor, four talented musical acts will also be preforming at various stages throughout the weekend!
