Hey Ric, This site here lists most of the local events. It doesn't look like too many during that week being so close to Christmas.

There are several cruise nights throughout the valley though. I'm sure you could catch one or two of them. Our club is located out in East Mesa and our gathering night is every Friday night in the Bash's parking lot on Signal Butte and Main from about 4pm to 7pm. Usually well over a hundred cars there.
Another really busy one would be at the Scottsdale Pavillions on a Saturday night. Here's the info on it.
Scottsdale:
Rock and Roll Car and Bike Show at McDonald's in the Scottsdale Pavilions Shopping Center 9140 East Indian Bend Road is the longest consecutive Saturday cruise in the nation. Come out at 4:30;pm and enjoy classic cars and motorcycles, free of charge. If you'd like to display, try to get there before 4pm. Enjoy our DJ's tunes and grab dinner or desert at our McDonald's restaurant. Don't forget to visit the stores in the Scottsdale Pavilions shopping center! Info: Cindy 480-277-1864 - Picture - Verified
