Minnesota highlights an arguably underrated car scene - from classic hot rods to rare exotics, there is something to be found for anyone at local car shows. As you gear up for your 2025 spring and summer plans, I thought it was only right to highlight some of my favorite events. Check these out and mark them on your calendars!
2025 Car Shows & Cruises in Minnesota
For more detailed schedules, visit my MN Car Show page; here, I have an event calendar of upcoming events as well as photo galleries from past shows. Please refer to each respective event's listings and websites for official times, locations, and announcements, as these may change from the time they were put in my calendar.
Facebook is another great resource for upcoming car events. A simple search, or even joining car meet-specific groups helps you stay in the know.
