WYOMING-KENTWOOD, Mich. — Organizers are putting the finishing touches on plans for this year's Metro Cruise, bringing in even more for you to enjoy.
The event has expanded the Woodland Mall area; meaning even more live music, food, activities, and —of course— classic cars.
Both Rogers Plaza and Woodland Mall will have kid-friendly activities including a climbing wall, rock painting, car building kits and more.
Metro Cruise draws about 300,000 people to the area of 28th street. This year it will happen on August 26th and 27th.
They're still looking for volunteers. If interested, check out their website.
