August 14, 2012 > Hot cars, cool time Hot cars, cool time The Niles Merchants Association is bringing out the cars once again when "Hot August Niles" hits the street on Saturday, August 18. The community is invited to check out a great collection of vehicles, new and old, showy and classic, at an entertaining event for the whole family. Last year was a great success, gathering over 330 entries. While cars are the main focus, the day also offers food and refreshments, live music in the plaza, and a 50/50 raffle. Attendees can also enjoy the many unique shops of the historic district. A non-profit group that has been active since the 1950s, the Niles Merchant Association uses the proceeds from the event to support the Festival of Lights Parade. Car owners wishing to take part may register their vehicles for $28 until the day of the event. Vehicles must be registered by 9 a.m. and no early departures are allowed. Entrance to the car show will be at Niles Boulevard and J Street.
