Hagerty Brings Back RADwood Detroit With New Cars At The Station Event
Hagerty is excited to announce the return of RADwood Detroit, an expanded festival celebrating '80s and '90s cars and music. The event will take place on Saturday, September 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Hart Plaza in Detroit. Attendees are encouraged to wear period-appropriate clothing and bring fun gear like boomboxes and rollerblades.
"RADwood is a celebration of the cars and culture of the ’80s and ’90s as well as the people who created and drove it," said Art Cervantes, co-founder and CEO of RADwood. "With the energy and momentum Detroit has, it’s hard to beat the Motor City for a radder location."
In collaboration with Michigan Central, Newlab, and the City of Detroit, Hagerty introduces ‘Cars at the Station,’ a new community event. This free event will be held on Friday, September 13, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Michigan Central. It aims to bring together car enthusiasts, content creators, and media for vehicle walkarounds and news from various automotive brands.
"Cars at The Station spotlights the Motor City’s innovative future by leveraging Michigan Central’s excitement as a unique on-ramp that brings the greater community together around car culture," said Cervantes. "This no-cost event reinforces Hagerty’s commitment to fueling car culture and reaching all Detroiters, welcoming those new to the hobby, as well as those gearheads who never miss a gathering."
The newly restored Michigan Central Station will host several automotive debuts and news briefings. The North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle of the Year™ (NACTOY) Awards’ "Best of 2025" vehicles will be announced here. Attendees can also enjoy panel discussions and local musical acts.
Newlab's innovation hub at Michigan Central focuses on accelerating critical technologies for a sustainable future. Over 100 startups pioneering technology in mobility, energy, and materials are part of this hub. Event attendees can explore this cutting-edge space through immersive activations and panel discussions presented by Foxxtecca.
