Attend the 32nd Annual Brookings Car Festival weekend on Saturday & Sunday, June 14-15, 2025, in downtown Brookings and at Pioneer Park
Greetings Brookings area car and truck enthusiasts. The Brookings Car Club has the following plans for the 2025 Brookings Car Festival weekend:
Saturday, June 14th, 2025:
- Saturday starts with a Poker Run benefiting the Special Olympics of South Dakota/Brookings, starting from downtown on Main Avenue leaving from Nick’s Hamburger Shop. Registration for the Poker Run is from noon to 1:00 PM at Nick’s, and plan to leave from there at 1:00 PM with hands drawn at the Blue Goose in Volga at 4:00 PM.
- After the Poler Run, plan to head back to downtown Brookings, for the Downtown Drive In from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The 300 block of 4th Street between Main Avenue and 3rd Avenue will be blocked off for people to bring your ride down and hang out with other car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiasts. There will be some specials being offered by the downtown establishments in that area.
Sunday, June 15th, 2025:
- Attend the 32nd Anniversary of the Annual Brookings Car Show in Pioneer Park.
- The FREE car show will be setup as a Show-N-Shine event (no judging) in the central part of the park just northwest of the band shell, like it was last year.
- Sign in/Parking/Set up will be from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM (enter at the east end of Pioneer Park). Thanks to our great list of sponsors this year, there will be NO COST to enter a car, truck, or motorcycle in the show. FREE entry! There will be participation plaques going out to the first 200 entrants in the show.
- The car show will run from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM in the park. There will be food vendors on site (Shorty’s Hot Box and Backyard Grill) and tunes playing with live music from Big Bad and the Wolves from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
- There is no need to pre-register. Just come on out to the park on the day of the car show and enjoy being around other car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiasts.
