Dear Third Street Business Owner,
On Saturday, August 17, the second annual Classic Cars on Third, a classic car show on Third Street between Michigan and Park Streets, will be held. This car show commemorates Jessica Drummond, a victim of domestic violence, with all proceeds to benefit the Women’s Center.
Third Street from Michigan to Park Street will be closed from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for this event on Saturday, August 17. Unfortunately, you may be unable to access your parking lot during this time. It may be in your best interest to preemptively park any vehicles you may need throughout that day on adjacent street, as vehicles will NOT be allowed in or out of the area during that time on Saturday. We anticipate several hundred classic cars will be entered into this car show and expect several hundred spectators as well.
We strongly encourage all businesses within the event area to hold sidewalk sales on that day. Please be sure to keep at least 5 feet of clear walking space on the sidewalk to accommodate pedestrians. We also encourage restaurants to consider selling food on the sidewalk for event visitors that day, as we do not invite in outside food vendors. All applicable health department and Marquette fire department rules will apply.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions regarding this event, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you,
Tara Laase-McKinney
