It all began as a fundraiser...
The Woodward Dream Cruise started as a fundraiser for a soccer field in Ferndale, MI in 1995 and has evolved into the world's largest one-day automotive event. The festivities are unofficially a week long but the big day is always the third Saturday in August. The event attracts more than 40,000 street rods, custom cars, and everything in between and hosts over 1 million visitors.
The Dream Cruise takes place along a 16-mile stretch on the historical Woodward Avenue through nine host communities in the Metro Detroit Area including Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Ferndale, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, Pontiac and Royal Oak.
What can you expect to see in the Dream Cruise? Everything you can think of including major displays from auto companies, movie cars, and random displays like Roger Penske's personal collection of pace cars in 2015. If it is famous chances are it has cruised Woodward!
