BELLEFONTE — As many other Centre County summer festivals have announced plans to sit out another year because of concerns about COVID-19, the Historic Bellefonte Cruise is moving forward with safety in mind.
The popular event has been a Bellefonte Father’s Day weekend tradition since 1988 and features a car show, Friday night Sock Hop, music, food and a marketplace. This year it is scheduled for June 18-19.
Cruise Director Pat McCool said he has met with the borough to discuss how the event would be held safely. During an April 5 meeting, the borough council gave conditional approval for the event to move forward as long as all current COVID-19 protocols are in place, including social distancing, event capacity limits and the wearing of masks.
