Rait says, "There's a lot of muscle cars, classic cars and Model T cars. Woodward Avenue is four lanes wide and you just see cars cruise up and there from Detroit all the way to Pontiac, it's about a 15-mile stretch. Bob Seger is a local who visits and Jay Leno always comes by every year because he's a big car fanatic." This event is often paired with the Berkley Cruise Fest, a classic car parade. Other hometown events include the Annual Art Bash and The Berkley Days 5k and 10k runs.
