2026 TWIN CITIES CAR SHOW WATCHLIST CALENDAR & UPCOMING EVENTS
Below you’ll find dedicated galleries for the shows I cover throughout the season. Whether you’re looking for a photo of your car from a recent meet or scouting for the next event to attend, these pages are updated regularly with high-resolution imagery and event details.
PAN-O-PROG CRUISE NIGHT - Lakeville, MN
The "big one" for the South Metro. A community-wide celebration that brings classic muscle and rat rods to the streets of downtown Lakeville. Expect 500+ classic cars, great food and music throughout Downtown Lakeville, & a great time for the entire family - not just car enthusiasts.
BUCK HILL WEEKLY WHEELS - Burnsville, MN
Wednesday nights are reserved for Buck Hill's Weekly Wheels. This is one of the most consistent meets in the Twin Cities, offering a massive variety of cars in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. Accompanied with live music and local vendors, this is a show you'll want to ensure you have on your list for 2026.
CAFFEINE & OCTANE - Medina, MN
For those who love exotics, imports, and high-end builds, Caffeine & Octane at the AutoMotorPlex in Medina is the place to be. It’s the premier monthly gathering for the state's most unique vehicles, on the second Saturday of the summer months. Each show features a different "highlight" theme—ranging from the cutting edge of EV technology to the rarest European supercars. If you’re looking for high-end exotic photography in a professional atmosphere, this is the place to find it.
MINNESOTA CARS & COFFEE - Twin Cities, MN
A true staple of the Twin Cities automotive community, Minnesota Cars & Coffee is a monthly gathering that celebrates the "nomadic" spirit of the local scene. Having moved between iconic spots like Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Southdale Mall in Edina, and the Leamington Ramp in Downtown Minneapolis, this show is all about variety. I make it a point to follow the show to its latest destination to capture how different environments highlight the lines of the Midwest's best builds.
TWIN CITIES AUTO SHOW - Minneapolis, MN
Hosted annually at the Minneapolis Convention Center, the Twin Cities Auto Show is the largest indoor automotive event in the Upper Midwest. This isn't just a car show; it's a massive showcase where global manufacturers bring their newest fleets to the heart of Downtown Minneapolis.
IMOLA MOTORSPORTS OPEN HOUSE - Plymouth, MN
Once a year, the team at IMOLA Motorsports opens their doors in Plymouth, and the result is always spectacular. This open house is a magnet for "one-of-a-kind" vehicles. In past years, I’ve had the chance to photograph legendary machines like the Bugatti Divo, Lamborghini Countach, and Ferrari F8. It is hands-down one of the best opportunities in Minnesota to see (and photograph) true automotive royalty.
