Although not initiated by the MG3 Club, we have categorized it as a club event because we will be organizing our members into a group participation. This is a truly fun tour through the Village of Sussex where residents line the streets to cheer the cars parading by. It a great opportunity to show-off our cars and club! See details below.
Club members will meet at Armory Park (WS239N5664 Maple Avenue) between 4:45 and 5:05 PM and will then proceed as a group to the Peace Lutheran Church where a cruise though Sussex neighborhoods will begin promptly at 5:30 PM.
Streets will be blocked so the procession of all types of classic cars will not have to stop for traffic lights or stop signs. The cruise ends on Main Street at the Civic Center.
The event is free and offers live music, food, and restrooms at the Civic Center. Since this event attracts hundreds of classic cars enthusiasts it will be a great opportunity to display our MGs and promote the club.
