Glendale Cruise Night 2026: Everything You Need to Know

Glendale's biggest night for classic cars is back. The 31st Annual Cruise Night takes over Brand Blvd on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and NASA Services is proud to be one of this year's sponsors. Here's what you need to know before you go.

What Is Glendale Cruise Night?

Glendale Cruise Night is an official City of Glendale event that shuts down Brand Blvd for an evening of classic cars, live music, and community. Now in its 31st year, the event draws car owners and spectators from across Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and the San Gabriel Valley.

The show accepts pre-1985 classic cars and motorcycles, along with modified import and exotic cars. Vehicle registration includes a swag bag and event t-shirt, and trophies are awarded across categories at the judges' discretion.

Car owners can register in advance through the official registration page.
