And these badass vehicles aren't just content to sit idle with their hoods up.

They'll be parading down 28th Street in Grand Rapids, revving their engines, blasting their music, waving, and having a blast for cheering onlookers lining 28th Street for 13 miles. It's one of our favorite West Michigan automotive events!

*All of our photos were taken in the Berger Chevrolet All GM Show and along 28th Street in Grand Rapids. Chris and I LOVE this show and attend as often as possible.

Metro Cruise is coming to 28th Street Aug. 25 and 26 with old favorites and new features

By Deborah Reed

[email protected]

Buckle up for the 18th annual 28th Street Metro Cruise this weekend!

15,000+ collector/sports/antique cars, two days, 17 hours, five cities, 13 miles, and hundreds of public and private events will descend upon 28th Street and the surrounding areas on Aug. 25 and 26.

An estimated 200,000 people participate in Metro Cruise related events during this annual two day event.

Since its inception in 2005, Metro Cruise has been a consistent celebration of cars, local business, great food, and family and friends while also continuing the car culture known in the Grand Rapids area.

Previously owned by the Wyoming-Kentwood Chamber of Commerce, Metro Cruise has recently come under new ownership through a privately owned entity.

Despite the change in proprietorship, Wyoming Police Lt. Andrew Koeller said, “The Wyoming Police and the City of Wyoming are providing the same services we have traditionally provided.”

Wyoming Police Department is staffing Metro Cruise with assistance from the Michigan State Police, Kent County Sheriff’s Office, Grandville Police, Walker Police, Kentwood Police, and Wyoming Fire Department.

Eventgoers can expect to see WYPD in marked police vehicles, police motorcycles, on bicycles, and on foot.

“The Wyoming Police Department is committed to providing a safe environment during the event for all to enjoy,” said Koeller.

Take a quick Pit Stop

“We are very excited to announce a feature of Metro Cruise we know you’ll love,” the Metro Cruise website states. “There are now more ways than ever to enjoy your favorite auto event.”

Three Pit Stop sites have been added to Metro Cruise. These sites will be smaller, more specialized, and offer easier access than the Main Event sites at Woodland Mall and Rogers Plaza .

Hosting a minimum of four key features – collector car club(s), food vendor(s), official Metro Cruise merchandise, and an entertainment feature – each Pit Stop site will be open to the public with space for free parking.

Popular events

Official event times are 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 25, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26. The Official Cruise time down 28th Street at 4 p.m. on Saturday. However, it is not unusual to see classic cars cruising along 28th Street all weekend long.

The Woodland Mall Main Event location will offer several family-friendly activities such as live music, Car Smash, RC Car building and racing, a climbing wall, a scavenger hunt, and much more.

Also featured at the Woodland Mall will be the annual DreamWheels Red Carpet Classic Car Show on Saturday from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. This premiere event allows audience members to gather along a 135 foot red carpet as beautiful classic cars are revealed and roll by.

Rogers Plaza is the second Main Event location and will also provide live music, various family-friendly activities, the DYNO area, Miss Metro Cruise Finale competition, and the Wyoming High School Color Guard and Drumline.

Plan your visit

Metro Cruise Information Tents at the Main Event sites will have free, full color, printed programs. A full list of events and times can also be found here .

Metro Cruise rolls into 28th Street

The mission of the 28th Street Metro Cruise is to "help drive business" to a 16-mile stretch of the major retail corridor.  Photo via fb.com

An event featuring a 16-mile stretch of cars is gearing up to take over 28th Street this weekend.

The 28th Street Metro Cruise runs from 4-10 p.m. today and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday along 28th Street, between Cascade and Grandville avenues.

The event is produced by the Wyoming-Kentwood Area Chamber of Commerce .

It attracted more than 250,000 spectators last year, according to a survey by Grand Valley State University students.

The Metro Cruise was first held in 2005.

Between 15,000 and 16,000 cars participate in the event, which features collector, antique, muscle and sports cars, many by manufacturers that have helped Michigan become known for its automotive industry.

The “center” of the Metro Cruise is in Wyoming at Rogers Plaza, at 972 28th St. SW, where food and sponsor booths will be set up and activities, such as a pin-up girl contest, and live music will be provided.
