CRUISERS: 
At 4:00 pm, special lanes are opened up within in the show event for cars to cruise, on the streets where the route was filmed. Attendees are invited to drive the historic strip, parade their vehicle and enjoy the slow roll on our cruise loop. To cruise the boulevard the vehicle must be registered for the show, and have a valid cruise pass clearly displayed in the windshield.

WATCHERS: Free no ticket required, 4 pm-8 pm. Perhaps the best place to watch the cruise will be along Petaluma Blvd, south of B Street to D Street. Grab your chair, a picnic basket, something to drink, and if necessary, jackets and a blanket. Find a spot to watch the action. Be sure to wave and give the thumbs up to all the cruisers!
