Discover Waterbury invites residents and visitors to explore local businesses, attractions and events during Cruisin' Route 100, a weekend of activities held in conjunction with the annual Vermont Antique & Classic Car Meet.
The event, scheduled for Aug. 7-9, connects the classic car show with local shops, restaurants and attractions.
"The Vermont Antique & Classic Car Meet is one of Waterbury's signature summer events," said Roger Clapp, executive director of Discover Waterbury. "Cruisin' Route 100 is our way of welcoming visitors, encouraging them to discover what our community has to offer and creating opportunities for local businesses to be part of the celebration."
