We look forward to welcoming you to the Ignite the Nites car show and cruise. Whether you are a participant or a spectator, please observe the cruise rules and car show etiquette outlined below prior to attending our event. Thank you very much.

Thursday, August 14, 2025
  • High Stakes Poker Run with 100% payout. 4:00pm - 8:00pm. Register and start at the Mint Bar located at 110 Mineral Avenue and end at the Switchback Bar & Grill located at 485 Hwy 2 West.
Friday, August 15, 2025

Friday Night Cruise Rules
  • REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT 7:30PM SHARP. No late entries for the Friday night cruise after the 7:30pm registration deadline.
  • NO BURNOUTS, NO EXCESSIVE SPEED, NO EXCEPTIONS! We appreciate horsepower as much as anyone, but a crowded Mineral Avenue is not the safest place to do this. If you choose to lay down some rubber, you will be immediately disqualified and ejected from the cruise entirely.
  • OPEN CONTAINERS OF ALCOHOL are strictly prohibited in cars that are cruising.
We recognize that cruising has been an important part of our car show and more importantly, our heritage. To honor this tradition, we have implemented changes with one goal in mind – for this to be a fun, safe, family-friendly community event where we can all enjoy cruising and spending the evening along Mineral Avenue. In order for this to be a successful event and for future Friday night cruises to be considered, we need everyone’s cooperation to make sure all rules are followed and everyone stays safe.
