The 19th Annual Return to Renton Cruise-In Benefit Car, Truck and Motorcycle Show is July 12 at the Piazza in downtown Renton.

The show, expanded to more downtown streets than last year’s show, will have room for nearly 700 cars. Previous Return to Renton’s have featured a maximum of 400 cars.

This year’s Return to Renton will center at the Piazza, at South Third Street and Burnett Avenue South.

An Arts Unlimited art show, featuring more than 20 artists, will also run during the car show, along with a children’s activity booth, vendor booths, a DJ and giveaways and raffles.

Some of the vehicle categories during this year’s Return to Renton include: Lotsa Muscle, Phantastic Paint, Groovie Graphics, Cool Chrome, Luvable License Plate, and, of course, Best of Show, Participants Choice and the Founders’ Award.

Cars can be registered before the show or at the show. Registration is $20 per car. Registration begins at 8 a.m. at the show. The show runs from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., when the trophy presentation and cruise-in starts. Judging begins at 11:30 a.m.

All of the money raised from Return to Renton goes to the Renton Police Department’s Youth Education Fund, which pays for a variety of youth programs.
