CEDAR CITY — Main Street in Cedar City was once again closed for street traffic as the 27th Annual July Jamboree took place under a cloud of smoke from nearby wildfires.

Presented by the Cedar City Rotary Club and sponsored by Tink’s Superior Auto Parts, on Saturday the jamboree featured many classic cars and highly modified custom street rods.

According to a press release, car entries from several states draw approximately 12,000 visitors to historic downtown Cedar City each year. Although the family-friendly festival is free to the public, the Cedar City Rotary Club uses funds generated by the event to make donations to many local charities.

Past donations have been distributed to organizations such as local Little League Baseball, SUU Athletics, Canyon Creek Women’s Crisis Center, Iron County Care & Share, scholarships for Southern Utah University and Southwest Tech students, The Happy Factory and the Rotary Centennial Veteran’s Park, among other causes.
