One thing that you'll love about the Cruise - in addition to all of the awesome CARS that will be there - is the Fantastic 28th Street Shopping and Dining! There are many, hotels and restaurants throughout the entire area, too - lots of them right on 28th Street! Many of them are having great specials for Metro Cruise visitors.

Check out the listing of Wyoming-Kentwood Area Chamber Member Hotels and Restaurants and begin making your plans now!

We will produce an Official magazine style Souvenir Program for this event. They will be available at NO CHARGE at all of the Official Display Areas along 28th Street. An electronic version will be posted on website.

Starting in 2008 a limited number of pre-paid reserved spaces were made available to groups with 10 or more cars. The 2011 event plans are in process and reserved spaces for clubs of 10 or more cars will be able to reserve again. Please contact the Chamber at 616-531-5990 for more information.

No pre-registration of vehicles is necessary! The 7th Annual 28th Street Metro Cruise® is an open event and welcomes all vehicles to join in the fun!

There is a judged car show with entry forms on the website for entry.

Owners are welcome to participate in the areas of their interest. As special interest gathering points are identified they will be added to this site. Call the Chamber at 616-531-5990 for more details.

You need to check your sources on that one because someone has given you some incorrect information.

We may make a limited number of premium parking spaces available on a reserved parking basis as a courtesy to some Cruisers as a result of suggestions that we received from prior year events.

Out of some 12,000-plus Special Interest Cars that participated in the Cruise in 2007, we had fewer than 300 reserved parking spaces in total at two shopping malls set aside as reserved in 2008

That is less than 0.15% of the total spaces available on 28th Street and less than 6% of the total spaces available at the two main Cruise venues.

All the rest of the parking at the Metro Cruise® this year was what 28th Street shopping is famous for - acres and acres and acres of FREE Parking!

We do not recommend overnight parking to reserve spots and cars that are parked in the event reserved areas will be asked to move.

Some lots may be subject to overnight parking prohibitions. We aren't 'patrolling' any lots for property protection and any cars parked overnight will be at the owner's risk. The police departments will be out, though, looking for unruly behavior.

2005 was the event's Inaugural year.  We have utilized the vast experience of many local car clubs and other auto enthusiasts to run a well-organized event based on the successes of other similar shows and have learned a lot in 6 years!  We are look forward to an even bigger and better Metro Cruise each year!

In our 2005 Inaugural year, we had planned to host 500 to 700 Special Interest Cars and up to 2,500 Visitors to the area. That first year, we hosted 4,500 Special Interest Cars and more than 125,000 people!

In August 2006, the Metro Cruise had 8,500 Cars and just over 185,000 Visitors! And our third annual event in 2007 ,our fist two-day event, hosted over 15,000 unique vehicles and over 230,000 event attendees. 2008 exceeded all expectations with over 15,000 vehicles and a crowd of over 300,000!

We have welcomed visitors from all over the United States and look forward to a great 2011 turnout. We'll welcome everyone who comes! Let's have a Great Show, Good Times and a SAFE weekend!

We have a large and excited Committee full of very motivated people! We all have different assignments for various aspects of this large and exciting cruise event!

Committee members may and will be engaging in conversations with all kinds of vendors and will start preliminary negotiations, get prices, help determine quantities, etc. That's a big bart of our individual duties.

However, ONLY the Chamber President or the current Chamber Board of Directors Chairman may actually bind the organization, sign contracts or issue Purchase Orders, which will only happen after committee action.

Other area Non-profit organizations may also apply to provide volunteer help for the event and earn community recognition along with the chance to earn some operating revenue.
