This year’s Cruisin’ The Coast, which runs through October 13, is proving to be another big one.
According to Cruisin’ The Coast Executive Director Woody Bailey, there were 9,602 registered cruisers as of the end of the day on Wednesday, still just short of the record of 10,070 cruisers set last year.
Bailey says that this year Cruisin’ The Coast did already pass one benchmark: it welcomed its first registrant from New Zealand. And that registrant isn’t the only international one, according to Bailey. So far there are three cruisers from the United Kingdom and four from Canada.
With a weekend’s worth of Cruisin’ The Coast still to go, the event could see more registered cruisers and potentially break the record.
As the weekend approaches and the first six days of Cruisin’ The Coast have passed, take a look at photos from Cruisin’ The Coast so far. To see a schedule of the Cruisin’ The Coast events still to come, click here.
