The Woodward Dream Cruise is back for its 21st ride.
“So many special life moments that create lasting memories are connected to cars”, said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. In just a few short years, it has evolved into the world’s largest one-day automotive event.

“Is there any place that’s totally safe”, Gordon Ondrisek said. He used to cruise Woodward during the summers when he was in high school. As daily transportation choices change and the boulevard evolves into something more welcoming to non-drivers, the summer cruise nights are transforming into a curated rolling auto museum.
