What is CruiserFest?
Cruiserfest is a gathering of Land Cruiser aficionados at the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah to celebrate all things Land Cruiser. Need I say more? If you love Land Cruisers, you don't want to miss CruiserFest 2016.
The official event is Saturday, September 10th, 2016
Activities include trail rides converging on the CruiserFest site from all over the west (please post up if you are interested in leading a convoy and or joining an incoming group). We will meet Saturday morning for a courtesy breakfast and spend the day at the museum touring the museum and enjoying presentations and classes (TBA). Complementary lunch will be provided for all attendees and we will meet again that evening for a downtown SLC happy hour.
The Miller Motorsports Park was the longtime home of CruiserFest however that is no longer an available option so we've had to really adapt this years even. It's been a windy road to get us to this point in the planning but CruiserFest can, will, and shall go on and 2016 is going to be a great time. We look forward to seeing you there!

Camping in SLC:
For those coming into SLC via trail rides and or looking for a place to stay, the KOA in Salt Lake is excited to have us. You will need to call and make your own reservations or network with your trail leader to see if they are making group arrangements. It's a large KOA so while they have plenty of room, we might not be super close so please post up your camp site reservation and that will allow others to request something nearby. They offer a 10% discount for KOA members and Military.
Hotels in SLC:
There are a variety of hotels within walking distance of the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum (470 West 600 South, SLC, UT 84101). You can view the various options HERE. There is no formal group discount in place at any hotel but let them know you'll be visiting the nearby Land Cruiser Heritage Museum.
Parking @ the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum:
We have secured parking at Uptown Embroidery (corner of 600 South & 400 West). Curbside parking can also be found along 600 South (north side) and along 500 West.
Also, parking on the north side of the building will be fine, closest to the shipping containers as possible.
Registration:
Just show up! If you are planning to attend one of the incoming trail rides, be sure to network with that trail leader so you know the meeting time, place and route details.
