Macomb County is gearing up for a fun-packed “traffic jam” that brings smiles to thousands of faces each year.
​
Here comes the North Gratiot Cruise.
​
The ever-expanding event on Sept. 28 features a crowd-pleasing car parade, a car show, a kids’ play area, live music, food and a 5K run.
And, this year, the family-friendly experience will include a craft show and will introduce a cornhole tournament and a tailgate zone with a giant-screen television screen for football fans to keep an eye on their favorite games.
​
“There’s really something for everyone,” said John Johnson, chief executive of the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce and a founder of the North Gratiot Cruise. “It’s a day for all to enjoy.”
