The Port Bar & Grill will serve as the Official Pit Stop and Viewing Area of the Inaugural Pally Cruise as vehicles make their way through Port Carbon.
The Port will be offering special Cruise Day food and drink specials and provides a great location to watch the cruise from its deck as the vehicles make their way through town.
Cruisers are welcome, too! Whether you're watching the action or participating in the cruise, make The Port one of your stops and enjoy the festivities throughout the afternoon.
PALLY CRUISE PORCH PARTY CONTEST
Residents along the cruise route in Palo Alto and Port Carbon are encouraged to get in on the fun by holding a Pally Cruise Porch Party!
A contest will be held to recognize the Best Porch Party in Palo Alto and the Best Porch Party in Port Carbon, with one winner selected in each municipality.
The winning porch party in each community will be chosen by the police department covering that respective municipality.
Gather your friends and neighbors, decorate the porch, enjoy the cruise as it passes through town and, most importantly, party responsibly — you may just get a rewarding visit from the Police!
The Porch Party Contest is being sponsored by Palo Alto Borough Council President Brian Dries, who will provide a $50 gift card from The Port Bar & Grill for the contest.
FRIDAY NIGHT SHOP & DROP — OCTOBER 2
Can't wait until Saturday? Stop by Citizens Fire Co. #1 on Friday, October 2, from 5:00–8:00 PM for a special Shop & Drop for the Pally Cruise raffles.
Come check out the raffle prizes, drop your tickets early and avoid the Saturday rush. Food will also be available Friday evening, so stop in for dinner and take a chance on some raffles while you're there!
