Annual Main Street Moments event returns to Tazewell County

TAZEWELL, VA (WVNS) — An annual event prepares to make its way back to Tazewell County at the end of July 2025.

According to a press release, starting on Friday, July 25, 2025, Main Street Moments will kick off in Tazewell County with a cruise-in where cars will line Main Street.

The press release stated that the Jackie Adkins Memorial Cruise-In will include hot rods, classic cars, and custom builds, and a variety of people, from car owners to car enthusiasts, are welcome to attend the event.

There was a beloved community member that passed away this past year, his name was Jackie Adkins, and he was very instrumental in starting the cruise-ins in Tazewell, so we are having a Jackie Adkins memorial cruise-in on Friday night. He always loved beach music, so we have Continental Divide that is going to be playing that night.
