BACKGROUND:
This will be the 22nd year for this very popular event tradition, which annually draws thousands of
people to our Downtown. This is the second year that the event will provide Beer and Wine Tasting in
an enclosed area to help pay for the cost of the event, as well as a small classic motorcycle showcase.
As always there will be great music provided by local musicians, tasty food booths to entice the
attendees, and the immensely popular Show & Shine of Classics and Hot Rods throughout the day
before the Car Parade.

The most important change for the 2009 May Madness Classic Car Parade is the partnership of the
Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) with Community Action Marin (CAM), a local
community non-profit. CAM and the BID have joined forces to raise additional sponsorship funds.
This alignment significantly improves the profile of this event and also provides a larger funding base.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Police and Public Works overtime costs estimated at $6,000 which is included in the Agency's annual
event budget.
