The 2026 Woodward Dream Cruise is set to take place on Saturday, Aug. 15, along Woodward Avenue in Oakland County. The event, which celebrates all things automotive, will feature cars, trucks, and street machines of all kinds.
Event Details
The cruise will run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, with spectating unofficially starting on Friday night and ending on Sunday. The 16-mile route will stretch from Ferndale to Pontiac, passing through nine communities.
Businesses along the route may offer food or drink specials, discounts, seating, or space to spectate. There are also several municipal parking locations available for those attending the event.
The first-ever Dream Cruise was held in 1995, started by late Ferndale resident Nelson House. House was inspired by the 1950s and 60s, when teens would ride up and down Woodward in their Big Three muscle cars and hot rods.
