American Graffiti the classic car and ’60s cult classic (filmed in 1972) was a movie that defined life in the 60’s. For fans of American Graffiti and fans of classic cars, Petaluma’s Salute to American Graffiti is a must attend event.

While it is often mistaken that most of American Graffiti was filmed in Modesto California, the fact is most of the most memorable events were actually filmed in Petaluma in Northern California.

Each year Petaluma hosts its salute to American Graffiti with members of the production staff and often members of the actual cast even show up.

New this year will be the inauguration of Holstein’s Herd, a special display of classic police, fire chief and ambulance vehicles. As always there will be a great selection of classic cars that defined that era in American history.

Be sure to attend May 14, 15, 16. For more information check out American Graffiti
