The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival intends, at this time, to hold the Festival over Labor Day weekend as scheduled. However, festival officials are continuing to closely monitor the Covid-19 restrictions placed on the City of Auburn and State of Indiana, this is subject to change based on recommendations from the DeKalb County Health Department or those restrictions that may occur in the near future.

The ACD Festival organization has been in communication with the ACD Club, local classic car auctions and museums, and makes this decision in part based on discussions with those groups, as well as with guidance from the DeKalb County Health Department and the City of Auburn. The ACD Club plans to make their formal announcement later in June as to whether they will attend this year.

As planning for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival 2020 continues, so does the planning for the downtown Auburn summer cruise-ins. This is the first year for the Festival to sponsor these events, in cooperation with the Downtown Auburn Business Association, Auburn Main Street and the DeKalb Chamber Partnership. The next cruise-in is scheduled for June 18, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, in downtown Auburn on courthouse square. The event is free for cars and spectators. Cars are asked to register starting at 5:30 PM, at the corner of Cedar and 7th Street. DeKalb County Health Officer, Dr. Mark Souder, recommends refraining from attending if you have been ill in the last fourteen days, or have been around anyone who has been ill, wearing a face covering and following social distancing guidelines while attending the event.
