I have never been to the Glendale Cruise Night, and I was definitely missing out. There were five in our group, and everyone had a blast. We were able to see some amazing cars, and lots of vendors talking about their companies. We also heard some great music. I would definitely return next year if I'm able. Great free event for the whole family! Happy that we made it to the 30th annual. Punish 7/23/25 read more

Some friends had told us to come and meet them down here for Cruise Night on Saturday, 07/21 so we made plans to visit. We lived in Glendale years before so we had been to one when we lived there. This seemed to me to be more organized than the earlier one we had gone to with a lot of police presence and streets blocked off and well signed. We parked at a garage on Orange and Lexington and paid $5.00 then it was just a half a block away to start walking around and admiring the cars. There were tons of either tricked out cars or vintage ones to see and lots of interesting people to people watch too. We walked the blocks of cars, stopping and taking pictures of ones here and there. I saw a type of car that I owned when I was younger and showed my son it which was fun for me. The owners were mostly there and would tell you all about the vehicles. There was a lot to see and if you are into cars this is definitely a good free way to look at them.

An overdue review: Came here in July, was planning to take my girlfriend to Americana on brand and saw a blockade with many guest wondering around, so we decided to join in! We spent an hour and thirty mins walking around and looking at all the spiffy cars. A few vendors had free raffles and a few had paid raffles. Other venders were giving out promotional items like Capital One passed out various items and tote bags when you answer their trivia. Waste Management was doing trivia for prizes as well, my girlfriend and I picked up the green and blue mini trash bins. Multiple places were passing out tote bags, pens, stress ball. Along both sides of the block and the dividers were classic cars and trucks lined up mixed with a few modern race cars and working movie replica cars. It was a fun night as we enjoyed the view of various vehicles and collected many useful swag. Cruiser Night is a great event to check out if your in the area when it's being hosted. Free and fun for all ages, especially for those that enjoy or love viewing cars. read more

The 19th Annual Glendale Cruise Night expected somewhere around 400 pre-1979 cars as that is how many there were last year. It definitely wasn't as crowded as last year which you could tell because last year the cars were closer together and they went further up the street toward Doran. I don't mind because it was a lot easier to walk around and take photos. There were plenty of nice muscle cars this year, so that was good. My favorites were probably the Chevy Chevelles. There were also a bunch of Camaros and a Nova I liked. Check out my photos. This event takes place every year and you can check this website for more info: http://www.glendalecruisenight.com read more

We've being coming to this event for years but this stop the first year of Covid. Today we went we even register our car just to be disappointed about the spectators who had no respect for people cars. We watch a few kids and adults who's thought it was okay to touch the cars . Ours friends got to a situation with a couple of spectators whom touch his car. He ask them not to touch his car and one of them decide to put hands on our friend. We and our friends now understand why it's wasn't a sold out event and we won't be returning to register our cars or spectators read more

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! A FREE EVENT! It was the 25th Anniversary of The Glendale Cruise Night & it was PACKED WITH PEOPLE from 5:30 -10:30 PM. Block after block of Brand Blvd. In Glendale was shut down to hold the event. We lucked out & got Free Parking on a side street a few blocks away. There were 350 Beautifully Restored Classic Cars on display. There were so many cool automobiles from Corvettes to Mustangs, VW's, T Birds, Trucks, Low Riders, a GIANT VW BUG, a Mint Green all metallic car & so many others. They even had the type of cars the presidents JFK & Nixon drove in. There was a section of antique bikes; the 1970 Stingray was Awesome. They had a Restored 1950s Fire Truck & a Massive Modern tricked out Fire Truck. There were several bands here as well. We went later in the evening & saw Jumpin Jack Flash a tribute Rolling Stones Band & they were very good. The crowd watched & sang along & danced. The Alex Theater located on Brand is now a National Historic Landmark & was all lite up for the occasion. The Alex is a beautiful Art Deco Theater with an old Fashioned ticket booth & stunning outdoor flooring. The Theater itself was closed but you could walk around the entrance way & look through the gate at the beautiful Art Deco Theater. On the street they had all sorts of booths selling T Shirts, miniature cars, novelties etc There were Booths giving out Free Samples as well. Jack FM & K Earth Radio Stations were both in the House as well. They had a Giant BBQ that had hot dogs & hamburgers etc right smack dab in the middle. At the end of the night @ 10:30 PM they had a Fireworks Display. So Much Fun & it was all FREE! If you missed it, mark it on your calendar for next year. It used to be, you had to have mega bucks & be really rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

99% of the vehicles who enter this show are daily drivers, not show quality and the reason is that anyone who cares about their vehicle won't bring it here. The people who go to this show touch the cars, lean across the door to peer in the cars and don't respect the concept of keeping a safe distance. People who aren't type-A personalities or who have never owned a nice vehicle in their life, cannot wrap their head around the fact that the zipper on their jacket WILL leave a mark on paint and that the sign that says "Look, don't touch" applies to them. I used to own a '66 Shelby Clone...show quality, not a daily driver and the kids with grubby hands and people with cameras dangling from their necks leaning in would stress me the f**k out so I only took it to the big Ford meetup at Knott's Berry Farm and events at the Peterson museum. read more

I go every year, since the start. We go early, eat in a restaurant on Brand Blvd., then walk the whole distance up and down Brand. I always enjoy it, and it's a great way to spend an evening with friends. And, since I'm kinda old, I enjoy the old cars; it's definitely a trip down memory lane. I also love the people who bring their kids, who are introduced to the "good old days" when cars were ... so beautiful, inventive, and every feature was something new. read more

First and foremost... set your expectations accordingly when you go: - Street closures - 400+ Classic Cars - People - Music Now, if you're against those things listed above, don't come. Ok, now for my experience. Any opportunity to get out and walk around on Brand is always a plus in my book. They blocked off somewhere between Doran and Colorado. There were a lot of classic cars to look at and explore, but shouldn't touch. There were lots of people but not too much to annoy you. There were also fire trucks which kids were allowed to climb into. While passing by, a firefighter gave my 2.5 year old daughter a "Glendale Fire Department" badge sticker and she was glowing. Firefighters truly have that magic to melt a girls' heart..young and old! It was a free event and you can tell a lot of work and effort was behind it all. There were 2 bouncies for the kids to enjoy, but I blinded my daughter while passing by as I didn't want her skinny little legs to get trampled by the big kids. My list of how I think this event can improve and work its way to 4-5 stars: - Label each car with its history (if any).. so people like me can learn and appreciate each car - The band and stage belong in the middle of the event so you can hear music throughout - Bring more high-end food trucks! All I saw was a burger/hot doing truck..boo. - Bring in carnival rides read more

It's that time of year again - tomorrow, actually - and yayy for that. I LOVE classic cars, and therefore I love Cruise Night. There are hundreds of cool cars lined up on Brand Blvd. There's live music and tons of people. I personally always find it to be so much fun. I don't mind the crowds or walking, as it's such a huge display of classic cars that it's totally worth it. It's definitely a family friendly event, and it's freee. ;) read more

I tried going in 2015, but it was canceled or postponed due to rain. I finally made it to the 2016 edition with lovely weather and it didn't disappoint with lots of cars. It's so big, four blocks of Brand Blvd around the Alex Theater were closed. The cars were mainly American made sports cars like Corvettes and Thunderbirds. Foreign and pre-WWII vehicles were not heavily represented. Unlike a Concours d'Elegance, there are some festival elements like a stage with live music at the northern end, vendors (but not that many), and a Kiwanis Club selling food for fundraising in the middle. As other Yelpers noted, there are no food trucks, but with good reason. Why the huge desire to eat food from a portable kitchen when there are plenty of restaurants right behind the cars on Brand Blvd.? Do you cook better food while camping in an RV or from your unmovable kitchen? Beyond the aspect of getting better food, this free event was designed to promote Glendale businesses like Portos, Damon's, Carousel, Sake, Lola's, etc. Food trucks go completely against this objective. If the event planners wanted food trucks, it would be held in a park which doesn't require shutting down the Glendale's main drag. read more

Cruise Night is basically an evening of showing off cool cars to your buddy's. Keep note that they only allow a certain model year and older. As a free event it's worth hitting especially since this event happens once a year. Nice perk is that it's like a giant block party for the residence of Glendale. There are a few food trucks scattered through the venue. But conveniently located on the main shopping area of this neighborhood. Parking wasn't bad if you know the area well. I was able to find parking instantly upon arriving. So why the 3 stars, well maybe was the exhaustion or that I wasn't wowed. I digged the showcase of cars and live music. Enjoyed walking down Brand on a cool summer night. And the crowds of sardines wasn't bad at all, it just was missing something. The showcase of cars was okay, perhaps the jaded mind was too much for this happening spot. At the end it wasn't a bad way to spend a Saturday night. read more

What a beautiful night to see classic cars, listen to a band and have a cocktail! Nice time. Good crowd.

The event takes place every year . We had to go check it out. It's on Brand Blvd / Broadway in Glendale that's the starting point, so you have to find parking around there or close to there. Don't worry there are several places to park. The car and motorcycle show is awesome . There is something for everyone. I went to see a tribute to Rod Stewart by Gregory Wolfe he is awesome. There was also Coral Paradise Band and Creedence Relived they were great too. The best part the fireworks show at the end. We had a blast. Street vendors, raffles and merchants giving prizes. Plenty of venues to eat, and rest from the walking. read more

Attended the Glendale cruise night the 1st time and had a blast although I know very little about cars let alone class cars. There were about 400 pre-1979 class cars participating this year. The event was held on N. Brand Blvd between Broadway and Milford and the main stage for entertainment was at the corner of N. Brand and Milford Street. Needless to say, you have to plan your driving route and parking accordingly while driving to the event. In addition to the Glendale public parking lots, some private public lots of the nearby commercial bldg offer event parkings at a fee The one at the corner of Doran and Maryland with entrance on Maryland charged $10 and the one on Doran at Orange charged $5. I would suggest that the organizer includes the exact blocks of the event and parking info in the future. You need not be a classic car lovers to enjoy this event. It is an event for all ages, some people even brought their 4 legged friends along. There were food vendors and of course most restaurants on Brand Blvd were open so there were plenty of food choices to choose from or you can bring your own picnic basket and chairs and enjoy your meal while watching the performance on the main stage. If you do, bring a low back chair. Thanks to the organizer, car owners and vendors to make this a great community event to us. read more

Wish there was less than 1 * This is the 1st time I review a business and most probably last. I paid $15 for super wash, they had some issues with the rails so I saw them just pressure wash my car with no soup. The guy told me the car is ready but i could see lot of stain on the car and no wells dressed and air fresh, he did little bit more and but no air fresh, being a convertible, they didn't clean the sits. called the manager and he said for $15 they don't wipe the sits Family owned? glad not my family... Don't waist your money there... pay 4.99 and go to a cheap car wash.... read more
