The Wright Museum’s 13th annual Cruise In to the Wright is coming up this Saturday, August 15th, 2026! Read on for all the information you might need:
Antique Vehicle Registration:
Pre-registration has reached capacity and is now closed. An extremely limited number of drive-up spots (~10) will be available on the morning of the car show on a first-come, first-served basis. The vehicle registration table officially opens at 9:00am for check-in. Once capacity is reached, we will be unable to accept additional vehicles.
Admission:
Regular museum admission applies and grants access to both the car show and the museum itself! Our admission rates are:
- Adults: $17
- Military and Seniors: $14
- Students (Ages 5-17): $8
- Children (4 and under): Free
- Family (2 adults/seniors + 3 students): $44
- Wright Musuem Members: Free
Tickets can be purchased at the door. Admission helps fund the museum so we can continue to educate future generations about the “Greatest Generation” of the WWII-era.
Hours:
Antique vehicle registration opens at 9:00am. The car show and museum both open to the public at 10:00am. The car show runs until 2:00pm, while the museum remains open until 4:00pm.
Visitor Parking:
To accommodate the antique vehicles, the museum parking lot will be closed to visitor parking during the event. Only a limited number of handicap-accessible parking spots will be available.
Visitors can park for free in several municipal parking lots within walking distance of the museum. Limited free on-street parking is also available nearby. Please review the Cruise In event page for a map of nearby parking options. Museum volunteers stationed at the parking lot entrance will hand out parking maps and direct visitors as necessary.
Food:
Food and drink will be available to purchase at the car show from The Lively Lemon NH and Good Eatz 603 LLC. Picnic tables will be available in the food truck area. We kindly ask that visitors refrain from bringing food and drink inside the museum building.
Entertainment:
Once again, the wonderful Bel Airs Group will be on hand to serenade the car show with classic doo-wop music from 12:00pm-2:00pm!
The museum will also be offering a 50/50 raffle. The “raffle wagon” will sell tickets throughout the event, cash-only. You must be present to win; the winning number will be announced around 1:45pm.
Weather Policy:
Thankfully, Saturday’s forecast looks beautiful! However, living in New England, we know the weather can turn on a dime. Cruise In to the Wright is a rain or shine event and the museum will remain open either way.
For questions, visit the museum website at www.wrightmuseum.org or call (603)569-1212. Special thanks to our 2026 car show sponsors, Holy Rosary Credit Union and Keller Williams Coastal and Lakes & Mountains.
We can’t wait to see you Saturday for this classic summertime celebration!
