Saturday's full Car d'Lane Show will take up much of downtown Sherman and Lakeside from the intersection of Lakeside and Northwest Boulevard to 8th Street. The road closure of that area (detail below) will begin at 4 a.m. and last until 5 p.m.

Car d'Lane is one of the premier, longstanding events in the community with thousands of residents and visitors alike attending to view classic cars and trucks from 1975 and earlier. The Cruise itself is from 6 to 9 p.m. and the Show is 8 to 4 p.m. Road closures occur earlier than the event to ensure ample time for vehicles to be moved and to help ensure pedestrian safety once the event begins.

The Coeur d'Alene Downtown Association operates the event. Learn many more details about Car d'Lane at its website, right here.
