St. Nick’s Third Annual Food ‘n Cruze

We love summer events in Erie, PA! Anything that brings us outdoors and can bring family and friends together is a win for us. We were so excited to find out about St. Nick’s Food ‘n Cruze, where you can take a look at some awesome cars while enjoying some of Erie’s great food trucks! This event is free to enter and has free parking!

Location:

This event is located at St. Nick’s Picnic Grove in Erie, PA. The address is 5131 Old French Road, Erie, PA 16509.

Property Description:

The property is very open; it is a very large picnic grove with tons of open space with green grass. There is a picnic pavilion and several picnic tables; you’ll even find a small play area with swings! The grounds are beautiful, with trees towards the back and plenty of shady spots to relax if the sun is out in full force.

For this particular event, you’ll see food trucks set up to the right of the cars. At our stop, we had the option of 5 different food trucks, which we thought was really awesome!

What to Do:

This is a very simple event, yet so fun! If you’re into classic cars and checking out other vehicles in general, you’ll love wandering through the line of cars parked in the grass and chatting up the owners. Out littles absolutely loved looking at the different colors of cars especially! We did have to remind them that this event was for looking, not touching!

Come to this event hungry! As we stated, there are several food trucks that will be awaiting your arrival to offer you their yummy goodness. You’ll find meals, snacks, and even dessert! We enjoyed a lot of food on our visit, such as chicken fingers, french fries, soft pretzels, an orange soda float, and even snow cones!

We also noticed 50/50 tickets being sold to benefit St. Nick’s Church, so bring some cash if you can to help support them and this wonderful event that they put on!

Who Can Go:

Anyone is welcome at this event! You can even bring your pups to walk around and check out the sights! We saw a few dogs and they looked pretty happy to be there!

Final Thoughts:

We really enjoyed the Food ‘n’ Cruze at St. Nick’s Grove and thought it was fun for the whole family. You can make it a long trip and really take your time, or a quick pit stop if you’re running low on fuel and want to grab a bite to eat!

This event runs tonight (June 28) and July 5, 2022 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. and if you can’t make it tonight on June 28, please be sure and try to attend on July 5! It did run every Tuesday in June, so we can hopefully look forward to the same type of schedule for next year! If you’re looking for free events in Erie, PA, this is definitely one to attend!

Property Description:

Located on the property of St. Nick’s Grove, you’ll find a course to drive through. Several Halloween decorations light up on the property, with booths set up decently close to each other. Once you enter the property, just follow the path provided.

What to Do:

This is a drive through event. You will stay in your car the entire time you are here. Roll down your windows and trick-or-treat at several stations that are set up. Each station has people at it, and they will hand out treats through the window. The kids absolutely loved the treats they got, some edible and some to play with. And some of the kids passing out candy had costumes on, which was really cool for our littles to see!

Make sure to dress up your kids for this event! We love an event that allows our littles to get more use out of their Halloween costumes! We’re sure the people running this event love to see all of the different costumes as well.

Who Can Go:

This event is specifically put on for children under the age of 10. So bring your kids, grandkids, or even great-grandkids! Adults will love the process of driving through; any experience that puts smiles on the kiddo’s faces is a great experience!

Final Thoughts:

We had a great time at this Halloween event in Erie, PA! We encourage you to head out tonight and enjoy it for yourself! This event is put on by St. Nicholas Orthodox Church and is completely free; donations to St. Nicholas Orthodox Church are accepted, but not expected.
