Kool April Nites, one of the biggest car shows in Northern California, will be returning to Redding in mid-April.
Thousands of cars from all around the nation will be on display. Some Show and Shines will be in Anderson, but most, over 30, will be in Redding. Shows will be held in sandwich shops, Hallmark gallery, senior living centers, furniture stores, drive ins, restaurants, pubs, parks, and in the Shasta Lake Chamber of Commerce.
Downtown Redding will have a carnival-style atmosphere with music presented by rotating DJs, street eats and food trucks. Along with hundreds of custom bikes and classic cars, Spring Fest Car and Bike Show will be the official downtown kickoff event with a concert in downtown Redding April 17th from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm at 1504 Market Street. Headliners will be Walkabout Blues.
