The heart of Bryan, Ohio, came alive on the evening of Thursday, July 31, 2025, as a classic cruise-in event took place on the historic Courthouse Square.
The air was filled with the rumble of engines and the sounds of classic hits spun by a local DJ. From 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., more than 60 meticulously maintained vehicles were on display, drawing a crowd of enthusiasts and families alike.
This year’s event marked a special milestone, celebrating the 27th anniversary of weekly cruise-ins in downtown Bryan.
Beyond the impressive array of cars, the event also served a charitable cause. A special donation booth, organized by “Key For a Cure,” was a popular stop for attendees.
Volunteers sold root beer floats and other treats, with all proceeds dedicated to funding innovative pediatric cancer research.
Adding to the atmosphere was a bustling farmer’s market, which ran concurrently with the cruise-in. Local vendors offered an abundance of fresh, locally grown produce and an assortment of vegetables. A variety of homemade goods, such as soaps and candles, could be found as well.
The combination of classic cars, lively music, delicious treats, and local commerce created a memorable evening that truly captured the spirit of Bryan’s homegrown community.
