Sanford Car News Cruise’N the Cinemas

Sanford Car News hosts the Cruise’N the Cinemas cruise-in on Nov. 28, 2026, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Spring Lane Cinemas parking lot at 1351 Plaza Blvd in Sanford, North Carolina. Admission is free for spectators, and vehicle registration is also free.

The cruise-in welcomes all makes, models and years of cars, trucks and motorcycles. Participants are asked to bring a new gift for the Toys for Tots drive, and each donated gift earns an extra door prize ticket. Gifts go to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. A Touch a Truck area features a fire truck from the Sanford Fire Department, a patrol vehicle from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and a patrol vehicle from the Sanford Police Department.

Food trucks Slingin’ Weenies and The Sugar Shack serve hot dogs, drinks, sweets and desserts, and a DJ handles music. The Sanford Car News booth sells 50/50 tickets and door prize tickets and offers hats, shirts and hoodies for sale.

Sanford Car News will also present proceeds checks from its Triple Crown Charity Car Show to three charities and first responders; that show raised $26,000.

Participants should respect the property by avoiding tire spinning and excessive engine revving.
