This community favorite will take place every Wednesday, May through August from 5:00pm to 7:30 p.m. with an exciting showcase of classic cars to new innovative designs. Watch as the event transforms Main Street into a buzzing hub with live music, tasty bites, and community spirit. This year’s lineup comes with themed nights including Camaro Craze, Impala Palace, Race Car Jamboree, and more. You won’t want to miss your chance to experience these vintage treasures up close. Roll into Downtown El Cajon for a memorable Cajon Cruise this summer.
Celebrating Mom in Downtown El Cajon
Downtown El Cajon has everything needed to make Mother’s Day special this year. From fresh flowers, spa days, and morning stops at cafes, there is something for every mom.
What better way to kick off Mother’s Day weekend than with gifting mom a classic bouquet of flowers. At Arcángeles, their curated bouquets perfectly pair mom’s favorites for an arrangement that will have her smiling for days. Keep the positive celebration going with a morning at a café – local spots like the The Diver’s Cup and Sultan Baklava have an array of pastries and morning coffees to ensure you start the holiday right. There’s nothing mom will appreciate more than spending quality time together!
Show mom how much she means to you with a well-deserved day of pampering. If she wants a lash refreshment, stop by Kitty Lash and Nail where she can choose from different styles of lash extensions. Help mom understand what all the head spa hype is about with a trip to Unika Scalp Massage Spa. Here, mom can receive private and tailored head spa treatment complete with a halo water experience. For moms looking for relaxing facial treatment, Salon Lounge has her covered. Book her a treatment ranging from hydrating facials, chemical peels or even a tan. No matter what mom is looking for, help her find some rest and relaxation with the businesses of Downtown El Cajon.
