25th Annual "Cruisin' on Main" Car Show Rolls Into Downtown Bozeman
Downtown Bozeman is revving up for one of the most anticipated summer events of the year, the 25th Annual “Cruisin’ on Main” Car Show! This beloved tradition, presented by the Downtown Bozeman Association and Cancer Support Community Montana, takes place Sunday, August 17th from 9 AM – 2 PM on Main Street between Willson and Rouse Avenues.
Since its start in 2001, Cruisin’ on Main has grown into a premier statewide celebration of classic cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The streets will be lined with shining chrome, rumbling engines, and vehicles that tell stories from decades past.
But this event isn’t just about beautiful cars, it’s about community and giving back. Since 2011, the Downtown Bozeman Association has partnered with Cancer Support Community Montana (CSC), raising over $150,000 to provide free programs and resources for those affected by cancer. CSC’s mission is to “ensure that all participants are empowered with knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community”, and this car show helps make that mission possible.
