Get ready to rev your engines! Somerset is proudly recognized as the official Car Cruise Capital of Kentucky, and the spotlight shines brightest during the Somernites Cruise Car Show, held every fourth Saturday from April through October.

This beloved event draws car enthusiasts from across the region for a day packed with horsepower, nostalgia, and fun. Stroll through downtown Somerset and admire hundreds of stunning classic cars, custom builds, hot rods, and trucks during the laid-back, family-friendly “Show and Shine” from 1 to 7 p.m. Bring a lawn chair, kick back, and enjoy the tunes, the chrome, and the welcoming vibe that makes Somernites a bucket-list stop for auto lovers.

As the sun sets, the excitement shifts into gear with “Cruising the Strip” starting at 7 p.m.—a high-energy procession where show cars hit the road and spectators line the sidewalks to cheer them on. Whether you’re a gearhead or just love a good time, the Somernites Cruise is an unforgettable way to celebrate car culture in Kentucky.
