Traffic was at a standstill on Main Street in Manchester for hours on Sunday, Aug. 7, but it wasn’t due to an accident or a problem with traffic signals.

The street was closed for the annual Cruisin’ on Main Street, which brought thousands of car enthusiasts, from casual to fanatic, to see hundreds of cars parked along more than a half mile of the downtown strip.

Also on hand for the 21st annual event were vendor booths, food trucks, and entertainment.
