Classic cars take center stage at Downtown Menlo Park Block Party held last night

by Linda Hubbard on June 18, 2015

Hats off to the person from the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce who had the good idea of adding classic cars to the annual Downtown Menlo Park Block Party held last night on Santa Cruz Avenue. In our opinion, they’re a hit — lots to look and see covering decades of automotive history, with people respectful of the “look but do not touch” instructions.

The downtown party also kicks off the weekly concerts at Fremont Park which will continue through August 12 (except July 1). Last night’s performers were Beatles’ tribute band, The Sun Kings.

We offer some sights from the night that summer officially starts in Menlo Park, even if the official date isn’t until June 21.
