Since it is only 15 miles away, I go often. Even though the official day is this Saturday, us locals know that it starts about 10 to 15 days in advance. Every evening there is significant action on Woodward. Even on all of the major cross roads there is a steady increase in classic cars and hot rods. A Duece Coupe here, a Mustang there, a 53 Chevy pickup, etc. all over the place, even when heading to the grocery store. Pretty cool. If you are coming in from out of town, Mustang Alley at 9 Mile and Woodward is a must see.
