Cruise-Town Erie rolled into Downtown on Friday, filling State Street with up to 1,000 classic cars, hot rods, and custom rides.

Crowds enjoyed live music from First to Eleven and a special display honoring Erie Insurance's 100th Anniversary. 

The free event aimed to bring the community together around a shared love of horsepower.

Car fans said these shows are a great way for community members to connect with others who share the same passion.
