Mass Cruisers’ Factory Five Night at Patriot Place, August 17th, Foxboro, MA

Customers are invited to join us for a fun cruise-in from 4 PM til about 7 PM. There will be a Factory Five car corral with about 20 spaces reserved for Factory Five customers.

Factory Five Cruise-In, Saturday Morning, August 19th, Wareham, MA

If you can’t make the Factory Five cruise night in Foxboro, you are welcome to join us on the following Saturday morning at our headquarters here in Wareham, MA for a fun morning cruise-in. The building will be open for tours. Factory Five customers and car guys are welcome to bring your coolest ride. We will also be showing off our all-new XTF Extreme Truck.

The new Factory Five XTF will be available for you to check out.

While we are not having an Open House event this year, this fun event will be an “Open House lite”. All are welcome, and we look forward to seeing you on August 19th for a fun morning cruise-in!

Factory Five customers are invited to join us and bring their cars, but all are welcome – all makes, all models.

The building will be open from 9 am to noon for tours and to hang out.
