The festivities ran from June 11-14, drawing in over 50,000 people to Salem, breaking last year’s record.
The 4-day event included both new and classic cars, live music and vendors.
2026 Super Cruise Director Brian May says the event raised a record amount of money for Salem’s Third Street Food Bank, while also helping local businesses.
“I am extremely happy. The community supported us 100%, a lot of the businesses that were worried about business not being there for them did extremely well. I think all in all, everybody really thrived,” May said.
