WELCOME to the official page of the 2025 Miss Metro Cruise competition!

Since the very beginning of Metro Cruise, a pinup competition and features have been a big part of the event.  We’ve hosted sock-hops, kids dance parties, a judged Finale to crown a Miss Metro Cruise winner, pictures with classic cars and much more.  We are so proud to continue the tradition of showcasing these classy girls, and again crowning a Miss Metro Cruise at our Main Event this year!

   

We will host two pinup events this year.  The first is the Miss Metro Cruise Meet and Greet & Car Show.  This is a combination car cruise-in, and pinup event.  The main lot is open to any classic, collector, sports, muscle cars or trucks, with no fee or registration needed.  From 11:00am to about 11:45am, head inside for the Miss Metro Cruise meet and greet.  This will include a fun sock-hop style dance – an opportunity to dance with the pinups!  Following that will be the Kids Kourt – an opportunity open to any and all kids to dance to a few songs and show their style and personality. Free prizes for all kids!  Food and drink will be available throughout this event, and the spacious patio will be open.

DETAILS: Saturday, July 12 from 10am – 1pm at the Wyoming Moose Lodge in Wyoming, MI.

The SECOND and main pinup event is the Miss Metro Cruise Finale.    This is where our narrowed-down contestant pool of 12 ladies will be part of a fun and engaging event to vie for the title of Miss Metro Cruise 2025.  There will be a judging panel featuring local celebrities, and lots of crowd interaction and voting.  Cars from our Collector Car Row drive in each contestant and drop them off at the stage.  The contestants all have an opportunity to strut their stuff, and answer random questions from our host.  This event is always a hit, and is one of our highest-attended events of the year on our GRNCDA Main Stage.

DETAILS: Saturday, August 23rd at 2pm on the GRNCDA Main Stage at the Metro Cruise Main Event at Rogers Plaza.
