CruisIn To Christmas is a toy drive and classic car show in Newnan, Georgia, about 35 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta. The organizer’s Facebook event sets the 2026 edition for Saturday 21 November, from 1pm to 8pm, at Ashley Park, 354 Newnan Crossing Bypass.
The organizer describes the purpose in one sentence: the show supports the local community “by providing Christmas gifts for children who would not have gifts otherwise.”
What it costs
In a post on its Facebook page warning about scammers, the organizer writes: “Our event is FREE and there is no registration required.” The same page asks people to bring the family and an unwrapped toy. If anyone asks you to pay to enter a car, the organizer says to message the host through the event page only.
Where in Ashley Park
Ashley Park is a shopping center, and the show has a new spot inside it this year. The organizer’s page says the show moves “onto Main Street between all the awesome stores and eateries.” The Facebook event carries the center’s street address and gives no further parking instructions. The organizer has not published where show cars enter or stage.
When to arrive
The posted hours are 1pm to 8pm, a long afternoon that runs into the evening. The organizer has not published a roll-in time, a schedule for awards or the time of the raffle.
The evening has a second draw. The organizer says the Ashley Park tree lighting follows the show, and that Santa will be there. Ashley Park’s own website was promoting a Lights Up holiday festival when this page was checked. The part of that notice that could be read gave no date or time, so confirm the tree lighting with the center.
Awards and raffle
The organizer’s page thanks a local business for making the show’s awards and thanks its raffle sponsors, so there are awards and a raffle. The classes and the way cars are judged are not published. The event is billed as a classic car show. The organizer does not publish a year cutoff or a list of eligible vehicles.
Before you go
No house rules or weather plan are published. The show sits on a shopping street on a Saturday before Thanksgiving, with families and shoppers on foot. Drive at walking pace inside the center, and bring the toy unwrapped.
