More Than a Car Show

Since 1991, Cruise Above the Clouds has had one goal, to preserve, educate, and share the joy of automotive history while giving back to the community. Each year, proceeds from the show benefit local nonprofits throughout Teller County and beyond.

Whether you’re entering your own ride, helping with judging, or just walking the rows of gleaming chrome, you don’t need to be a gearhead to join the fun. This event is about community, history, and a shared love for the open road.

  • Saturday: Increasing clouds, high near 69, with a 30% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
  • Sunday: Mostly sunny early, high near 67, with a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon.
    🌂 Tip: Bring sunscreen, a chair, and maybe a rain jacket — the show goes on, rain or shine!

Join us for a weekend of horsepower, history, and hometown pride at the 33rd Annual Cruise Above the Clouds. All proceeds support local nonprofits, so you can feel good knowing your good time is also helping our community.
