This annual event draws classic car enthusiasts from all over and features over 30,000 unique vehicles. Add in live music and children’s activities and this is one event worth missing General Hospital for. If you’ve had enough of hot rods, enjoy some hot gumbo and some cool blues music at the Gumbo and Blues Festival. Rent a place in Pontiac and start living it up in your new hometown. You’ll be glad you made the move.
