Salute 2009 - Cruise into Mel's Burger City ~ May 14, 15, 16 2009
American Graffiti ~ Where were you in ’62?
Although portions of American Graffiti were produced in other Northern California locations, most of the memorable scenes in George Lucas’ timeless, coming-of-age movie were filmed right here in Petaluma in June and July, 1972
Petaluma’s Salute to American Graffiti is an annual celebration of American Graffiti, classic American cars, cruising the “main drag”, rock ‘n roll music and the “happy days” of the ‘50s and early ‘60s. Produced by Cruisin’ The Boulevard, Inc., an all-volunteer, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit California Public Benefit Corporation, Salute proceeds benefit our own community projects; schools; and other community programs that focus on the arts, history, safety and welfare of Petaluma.
Haus Fortuna is hosting the 2nd annual 'HUB CAP PAINTING EVENT'. Over 14 local artists have painted and created amazing hub cap designs. There will also be a live hub cap paninting demonstration by local artists on May 16 from 10am to 4pm.
All hub caps will be auctioned off for these local charities:
PETALUMA SAVE A LIFE PROGRAM
PHOENIX THEATRE YOUTH ART PROGRAM
PETALUMA'S AVON WALK FOR BREAST CANCER TEAM
You can also have your car painted onto a hub cap for $100.
Join in the fun either in person, or if you can't make it to town, on our website!
