The Long Beach parade rolled through downtown Monday as a part of Cruisin’ The Coast.
As the sun set, 600 Cruisin’ the Coast-registered vehicles including hot rods, convertibles, muscle cars and vintage vans slowly traveled from the Long Beach high school to the end of Jeff Davis Avenue as hundreds of onlookers yelled and cheered.
Cruisers tossed beads, stuffed animals and other small items as a part of the annual event.
Take a look at photos from the event.
