NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) – Northampton Lodge of Elks number 997 kicked off its annual Cruise Night series on Thursday night.

Last year’s season was disrupted by the pandemic, so car enthusiasts were eager for the opportunity to gather again and show off their cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Cruise Night is an important fundraiser for the lodge, but it’s also a great opportunity to bring the community together and spend some time outside.

A member of the lodge, Brenda Ryan, told 22News, “We try to grow every year to try new and different things and we’re just really excited to have it again this year. People just love to come out and socialize. “

Cruise nights take place every Thursday until September 9th, weather permitting.
