The streets of Downtown San Rafael will rumble to life again as the tradition of “cruising” Fourth Street is remembered in our 35th Annual San Rafael May Madness Car Show and Parade on May 10, 2025.
May Madness is one of the most popular events in Marin County and is the longest-running car parade in Northern California. Classic car owners clamor to be in the sold-out parade and thousands come from all over the Bay Area to view these classics.
Hundreds of vehicles of all types, including classic cars, hot rods and customs line the streets of downtown San Rafael. It is a classic community event providing many levels of participation for residents, community service groups, sponsors, local businesses, exhibitors, and food vendors.
The event takes place on Fourth Street in downtown San Rafael, CA. The event is presented, planned, and executed by the San Rafael Business Improvement District (BID). Join us for a roaring good time!
