Who doesn't love woodies? Old fashioned car bodies, polished wood, chrome, and a fresh coat of paint. Woodies first gained popularity in Santa Cruz when surfers and college students alike realized that woodies were cheap, spacious, and could be easily adapted to carry surfboards. Since then woodies have been a surf icon. Fast forward 50 years later and you have a gathering every year of refurbished woodies coming from Santa Cruz, Arizona, Colorado, and even Canada. Woodies on the Wharf started in 1995 and has been occurring ever since. On the third Saturday of every June the end of the wharf is blocked off to traffic and over 200 woodies are put on display to be admired and photographed. The event ends with a parade of all 200 woodies driving around Santa Cruz to say goodbye to everyone. Every year Made in Santa Cruz has the widest selection of woodie memorabilia on the wharf that we love to share with all of the woodie-enthusiasts. Come over to Santa Cruz on June 26th from 10AM-4PM for a real treat-- free valet bike parking included.
