In 1993 a committee of six decided to start an event filled with blues music and classic cars to amp up the amount of entertainment in downtown Mandan. The event continues to bring hot rods, classic rides and cool tunes to Mandan each June. According to Mandan Police Department estimates, Sunday's classic car show brings roughly 35,000 to 40,000 people to Main Street.
