Yep the Bricks and Autofest are both similar in size and cars. Both great shows. The Bricks has cruising and events all week prior to the big Saturday show, and the Autofest has the Big Block party on Friday before the Saturday and Sunday show

Bricks Cruise runs thru town and Clio among other stops. Frankenmuth is nuts. I think they start lining the streets by 10 AM. I cruised Frankenmuth that Friday afternoon, i was surprised at the volume of people and cars....what nobody works...lol

I remember when cruising Woodward, Telegraph and Gratiot was a criminal offense. I haven't done any of the Dream Cruise events. I think there was a local show the same weekend this year.
