North St. Paul History Cruze Car Show
Every Friday, June 6 - September 19, 2025
No car show June 20, 2025 (Back to the 50's)
6:00pm - 10:00pm

A disappointing end to close out our 32nd year


It was a rainy and nasty end for The Friday Night History Cruze car show in North St. Paul. The temperature was cool with lightning and thunderstorms rolling through the evening. About 10 car owners brought their beautiful cars, but the crowds were not here. It was sheeting rain when we called the show. It was a very frustrating way to end our 32nd year.

A huge Thank you to:
  • Our Sponsors – Most of the cost of the show is picked up by them. They are loyal to the show, so please be loyal to them. Many of our sponsors have been with us for decades.
  • Our yellow shirts - our volunteers show up on a weekly basis to keep the car owners and visitors safe. We couldn't do the show without them. They are the face and backbone of the show.
  • Our craft/food vendors and bands who keep everyone entertained and fed well with their wonderful products.
  • The City of North St. Paul, their staff, Police, EMT's and maintenance crews who work with our board, giving us all the support needed to put on a car show that is this large and family friendly.
  • To the classic car owners – your vehicles are the stars of the show. We look at the show being a rolling museum of the most beautiful cars ever built. Your commitment to the classics is commendable.
  • To all the visitors who come down every Friday night and walk the shows, listen to the bands, dance, eat and look at the beautiful classics that show up each week in our historic downtown host city, it is wonderful family fun.
  • To MPL Specialties - for doing all our merchandise, from t-shirts and sweatshirts and the weekly dash plaques. Also, our artwork is designed by Kathy. It is such a pleasure working with you. She’s the best!
  • To Main Drag Vintage & Collectibles - for offering to help sell the car show merchandise, to make it easier for everyone to purchase. They will be selling our merchandise throughout the winter months and be stocked and ready for 2026.
  • To the Board of Directors - who put in a lot of time planning and re-planning, setting up, tearing down, meeting with the city, getting our insurance, ordering the porta potties, and everything else that needs to be done to put the shows on for 15 weeks.
  • To the east end homeowners - we have taken over your block. You have front row seats to one of the largest free car shows in the country. We've talked to the car owners to make sure they are considerate of your property, and it has seemed to work.

Without these components, we would not have a show each summer. What would we do without our Friday Night Car Shows.

The Board of Directors meet throughout the winter to plan the shows each year. We are committed to putting on the best shows possible.

Watch the web site, facebook and newsletter for the latest information on where we are in the planning.

For the Board, the car show is a 12-month commitment with meetings, planning and negotiating to make the best and successful shows possible.

Thank you to everyone who make the car shows possible each year.

See you in 2026!
