CruiseFest 2023
The annual Woodward Dream Cruise brings thousands of car enthusiasts and visitors alike to the corridor from Eight Mile Road to Pontiac. But first, Berkley has its own car parade. The annual Berkley CruiseFest car parade will again serve as a kickoff event for the Dream Cruise, as roughly 400 cars will be on display on Aug. 18 along 12 Mile Road.
