We are pleased to announce our co-host partnership with Pauer Sound LLC to put on this year’s Sizzlin’ Summer Nights Car Show! The car show will take place on Main Street in Downtown Aberdeen on Saturday, August 23rd 2025 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm. 2024 was a huge turnout for the Sizzlin’ Summer Nights Car Show in Aberdeen Downtown! Our AI program counted over 10,000 people downtown at the show. The Aberdeen Downtown Association handled all marketing and advertising for this car show, and our friends at Pauer Sound LLC did a great job of handling all car logistics prior to and during the day of this event. We learn something new every year to work on and improve, so we are excited to work together to make this event better for all who attend! As it was last year, the car show registration is FREE, but there will be NO reserved parking spaces. From 2:30PM to 4:00PM, cars will have one entry point on the intersection of 4th Avenue and Main. Cars will be parked in the order they arrive starting on the end of Main and 6th Avenue, and will be fi lled in down to Railroad Avenue and into the Avenues. If you have a car group that wants to be together, you will need to arrive and be in line together. If you are an owner with multiple cars but will need to make more than one trip to park your cars, please reach out to Alex at Pauer Sound LLC and he can discuss options. If you have any other questions about this, please email pauersound.carshow@gmail.com and they can help you from there. – Malchow Plaza Farmers Market: 8:30AM to 12:00 Noon – Sizzlin’ Summer Kids Cup Bike Obstacle Course: 12:00 Noon to 2:00pm – All Parking Spots Check-In: 2:30pm to 4:00PM sharp – Bikes parking in Main Street Center: 4:00PM or later – Route to Exit Car Show: 8:00PM PARKING: Parking is FREE, fi rst come fi rst serve, and will be open from 2:30pm-4:00PM sharp.
