The North Gratiot Cruise Foundation and the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us Saturday, September 27 for one of Macomb County’s most exciting annual traditions! The North Gratiot Cruise 2025 was an all-day celebration of classic cars, community pride, and family-friendly fun — and you made it unforgettable.

We kicked off the morning with the Chesterfield 5K, where runners, walkers, and cheering spectators came together for a scenic and spirited start to the day. The energy at check-in, the camaraderie along the route, and the smiles at the finish line set the tone for what was to come.

By mid-morning, Gratiot Avenue transformed into a showcase of rolling history and modern marvels with our massive Car Show and Parade. Muscle cars, custom builds, vintage beauties, and local legends lined the lots, drawing crowds of enthusiasts and families alike. The day’s excitement peaked with the Car Show Awards Ceremony, recognizing the top vehicles in Stock, Modified, and Best in Show.

The action didn’t stop there:
🎶 The live music kept the lot buzzing
🧶 Our Craft Fair offered unique local goods
👦 Kids enjoyed games and activities in the Kid Zone
🌭 Everyone dug into great eats and drinks from our food trucks and vendors
🏆 The Cornhole Tournament in the Tailgate Zone brought out fierce but friendly competition

This entire celebration was made possible by our generous sponsors, dedicated volunteers, and the incredible community spirit that defines Chesterfield and the surrounding areas.
