About This Event

Get ready for the first-ever Vester Alley Stroll & Car Show.

Hosted by the City of Ferndale, this brand-new summer event is taking over the downtown corridor for a block-party style gathering. The city is closing down the alleyway from Nine Mile Road to Vester Avenue, and Vester from Woodward to Bermuda, to bring a full day of community vibes, local flavor, and exceptional cars.

Whether you are an automotive enthusiast or just looking for a solid Saturday out with family and friends, this event has something lined up for everyone.

The Car Show

Organized by Modified Avenue and Rob D’Shawn, the main showcase will feature more than 70 unique vehicles packed into Vester and the parking lot behind Como’s Restaurant. The lineup breaks away from traditional single-make shows, highlighting a massive variety of custom builds with a primary focus on lowriders and sporty cars.

Music, Games & Alley Stroll

You don't need to be a car enthusiast to enjoy the afternoon. The Vester Alley Stroll is built around activating the neighborhood and hanging out. Walk the traffic-free corridor, take part in lawn games, listen to music, and enjoy the open summer atmosphere.

Support Local Vester Businesses

Ferndale’s local spots have been managing through recent street construction, and this event is designed to draw foot traffic back to their doors. Make a day of it by stopping into the bars, lounges, and restaurants lining the stroll:
