Did you know that the Woodward Dream Cruise actually started as a small fundraiser to raise money for a soccer field in Ferndale?

Today the event is a tribute to the classic car from all eras, and attracts over one million people and thousands of classic and not so classic cars each year. It is the world's largest one-day automotive event attracting car fans from all over the world.  On the third Saturday in August, for many, it is the annual rite of summer.

Of course the weeks leading up to the Dream Cruise, Woodward Avenue will each night attract more and more vehicles on the road, and observers who will take a viewing space in the parking lots between Ferndale and Pontiac, Michigan. 

Dream Cruise Cities: Berkley, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Ferndale, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge, Pontiac, Royal Oak
