Well, the dealership where I got my car is at 8-mile and Woodward, right where the cruise starts. That would be my best guess as to where the Mazda booth will be.

Mazda Booth

The MS Pro and Mazda6 are going to be located on Woodward just south of 15 mile rd (Maple Ave) on the East side of the road. They are going to be driving them on the strip that day and night so keep your eye out for them if there not at the booth. What time does this thing start. I'm thinking of coming down and I've never been to this event before? Give me some more info please.

There really isn't any official start time. It's pretty much just show up whenever you feel like it. Woodward will be closed off by the cops at 9pm tonight and 9pm tommorrow. But if you head out to woodward north of 15-mile around midnight, that where all the real action will be.

For got to add this too, Woodward starts to get really bumpin at about 10am, but if you want a good spot to chill out and park, you'd better get there at like 7am!

One more note, I live very close to Woodward and have access to parking, at my girlfriend's work, near woodward. If anyone wants to meet up or get a little protege get-together going, my cell phone number is 248-703-5099.

We may go after my son's little league picnic. For those out of the know 13 mile rd. and woodward is the core corner of action and congestion on cruise Saturday. It is super busy 2 miles north and south of there. Roads that parallel Woodward are hard to find because it runs on an angle to the standard N-S & E-W grid. The Cruise often grinds to a halt and if you have a stick and bad knees (like me, and I still bought a stick) it can be torturous. Best bet is to hook up somewhere of interest, park the car, and let the show go by you! Woodward and 15 mile is in the town of Birmingham and the one year we watched from there it was great. 1/2 mile south of 15 mile, the Woodward bypass rejoins Old Woodward (goes thru the shopping district) and you get double the exposure if you are in the median. For those with car A/V capabilities local channel 7, WXYZ, has live TV coverage from 7 pm to 9.
