This is always one of our best Cruise Nights of the year because the overabundance of things for the kids to do always brings a big crowd of car, truck and motorcycle enthusiasts.  Not only do you have the park itself, but the carousel will be in full operation for fun rides and the Coaster Cafe will be open in case you want to grab something to eat or something cold to drink.

Things will get underway at 6pm as we register classic cars, trucks and motorcycles for our Peoples Choice Award which this year is something everyone can appreciate and enjoy.  Our winners for the best car or truck and the best motorcycle will not only take home the coveted Peoples Choice Award Trophy but this year they will also get a $50 gift card to Western Meat and Sausage Block, your summer barbecue headquarters at 820 Dewey Boulevard and a pair of $25 gift cards to HP2 Cafe, 3841 Wynne Avenue, who were just voted Butte's Best Burger.

The winners will be determined by popular vote.  Everyone who shows up can get a voting ballot so bring the whole family down because kids can vote too.  Bring them down for some fun, some music and some of the hottest vehicles in Butte and Southwest Montana.

Here is a link to a listing of all of our 2026 Cruise Nights.  We'll see you on Wednesday.

LOOK: 20 Discontinued McDonald's Menu Items You'll Never See Again

Discontinued McDonald's items tell the story of eight decades of quiet experiments, from a pizza that took too long to cook to a lobster roll that never made financial sense. Some disappeared overnight with no explanation, others were cut to streamline operations, and a few became cultural phenomena long after they were gone.
