There are a handful of events happening this week that are part of the PVGP festivities leading up to the big race weekend. You can see the full schedule here, but I've listed some highlights below:

Waterfront Car Cruise
Tuesday, July 12, 2016, 5:00pm - 9:00pm

This is a huge cruise and is open to any and all cars. They ask for a $5 donation per car. I've been to this event many times and there are always some unique cars that I've never seen before. More info here: Car Cruise at the Waterfront

Downtown Parade & Car Display
Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 10:30am - 2:00pm

For those of you working Downtown like me, make sure you head out to Market Square on your lunch break for the PVGP car display. I'll see you out there! More info here: Downtown Parade & Car Display

Grand Prix Tune-Up at Atria's
Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 6:00pm - 9:00pm

I've never been to this one, but it always looks great. There will be a happy hour, appetizers, live entertainment, silent auction, and a display of show and race cars on the Clemente Bridge! Tickets are $40 and MIGHT be available at the door, but I wouldn't count on it. Regardless of whether or not you get tickets to the party at Atria's, the car show on the bridge would be worth the price of parking on the North Shore. More info here: Grand Prix Tune-Up

Forbes Avenue of Speed
Friday, July 15, 2016, 6:30pm - 8:30pm

This year marks the return of the Friday night Forbes Avenue of Speed parade and car show in Squirrel Hill. The vintage racers will parade through Squirrel Hill and park on Forbes Avenue for a car show. This event is held in conjunction with the Annual Squirrel Hill Sidewalk Sale. Thought the weekend, you can find music, special activities, and food trucks to supplement the local restaurant offerings. Friday's parade and car show are open to the public and there is no charge to come and watch. So if you're looking for a Friday night date idea, go grab some dinner and check out the vintage race cars that will be tearing up Schenley Park this weekend! More info here: Forbes Avenue of Speed

CARAVAN DETAILS!

Saturday, July 16th, 9:00am
Carnegie Mellon University East Campus Garage, Roof Level


The meet up for the caravan will be at 9:00am on Saturday, July 16th on the roof level of the Carnegie Mellon University East Campus Garage. The caravan will leave the garage for Schenley Park at 9:30am. The entrance to the PVGP is right up the street from the garage.

To get to the garage, you'll want to navigate to the Carnegie Mellon University UC Turnaround, and the garage entrance will be right there. The address for the University is 5000 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15213, though that may not get you exactly to the parking garage. The garage is free on weekends and the gate should be up. If not, grab a ticket and you'll use it to get out and you won't need to pay anything. Once you're in, head up to the roof.

Here's a Google map showing the parking garage: East Campus Garage

Mike will PM everyone with his cell phone number in case you should need to get a hold of him on Saturday.

I'll see you guys when you get to Schenley Park!

Saw the cars leaving Station Square this morning for the downtown car show.

Also just got back from the car show down by PNC Park. Great night out and a great turnout.
