information released
As Cultura on the Lake returns to Historic Downtown Chelan on Saturday, August 29, the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce are expanding this year’s event with new experiences that celebrate the stories, traditions, and artistry behind lowrider culture.
Following the announcement of the event earlier this summer, the Chamber is unveiling additional programming, including a special film screening and an expanded awards ceremony.
What to Expect
The festivities begin with the Low & Slow Cruise at 4:15pm, as dozens of lowriders, classic cars, street trucks roll through Historic Downtown Chelan before parking along Woodin Avenue for the evening showcase.
The Cultura Awards begin at 8pm and will recognize outstanding craftsmanship, dedication, and attention to detail across multiple vehicle categories. The awards celebrate the dedication and pride that define the lowrider community.
Special Screening
After the awards, is a special screening called Roll Modelz, an award-winning short documentary about how the often misunderstood culture of lowrider cars brings people together, especially during times of loss.
This film tells the story of the WA State Lowriders Car Club based in Walla Walla, and how they honor the memory of Mya Kay Avila. Club members will be in attendance at the car show.
