2026 Burn the Point Classic Car Weekend
5
Rev up your engines and take a trip back in time! In the ’50s and ’60s, the block between 2nd & 3rd Avenues North and N 29th Street to Broadway was the place to be—cars cruised, music played, and the air buzzed with youthful energy. This legendary tradition, known as Burn the Point, is still going strong, and every Labor Day weekend, downtown Billings transforms into a rolling tribute to classic American car culture.
Since 2003, the Chase Hawks Memorial Association—powered by local car enthusiasts and led by Sylvia Gusick—has been keeping the tradition alive and growing stronger every year.
The excitement kicks off Friday at 6:00 PM, when over 500 vintage rides roar down 3rd Ave N in the iconic parade. Once the last engine has passed, the night doesn’t end—join us on Broadway where the whole street becomes a dance floor to the tunes of Exit 53. Trust us: this is not a weekend to skip town!
Saturday, September 5 – Henry’s Garage, Billings
Gear up for a full day of automotive awe! Starting at 10:00 AM, head over to Henry’s Garage (12 Garden Ave) where over 300 jaw-dropping classic cars and trucks will be on display for just $5. Yep—five bucks for a full day of chrome, curves, and custom builds.
Wander through a sea of vintage metal, enjoy delicious eats and cold drinks from a variety of food vendors, and soak in the sunshine and the music. Over 100 trophies will be handed out—judged by the sponsors themselves, so you know it’s fair and full of heart. YOU can be a judge as well!
