Havana Nights Car Show in East Wenatchee

Tying into the Havana Nights theme, a car show will include pre-1970 or newer classic vehicles that have the Havana vibe.  Cuba is essentially a living museum for classis cars today after the U.S. embargo was enacted after the Cuban revolution and Castro banned American auto imports.  Car show participants can pre-register here
