Emerald Coast Cruizin is Movin’

For the last few years, the popular winter hotrod event, Emerald Coast Cruizin has been held at Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach. After years of traversing the grassy fields, the event promoters have decided to move the event to a more central location and a venue that may make it easier for the low riders to move about. 🙂

This year the Emerald Coast Cruizin event will be held gulf front at the old Miracle Strip property and Grand Panama Beach Resort.

Emerald Coast Cruizin will also have more than 125 top name automotive vendors, a giant swap meet, car corral, special shows and live bands. Attendees bringing their own hot rods to the show can enter to win a $10,000 giveaway.

The eighth annual Emerald Coast Cruizin will be on November 8 through Saturday November 10.

Prices for spectators are $10 per day for adults; kids 12 and under are free. A three day pass is $20 per person. For additional information and complete schedule, call (662) 587-9572 or visit www.emeraldcoastcruizin.com
