Light Up the Night will be the first-of-its-kind nighttime automotive showcase set in the heart of downtown Rochester, MN. Unlike traditional car shows, this inclusive event brings together all makes and models—cars, trucks, and motorcycles—while highlighting the community that fuels our local culture.

For the past seven years, the Garden & Gasoline team has redefined what it means to host automotive gatherings. We've built more than a following—we've built a mission: to create meaningful, family-friendly events that support small businesses and strengthen community ties.

This downtown event will be more than just a car show. It will serve as a vibrant evening experience that drives new energy, foot traffic, and visibility to local establishments. By combining vehicle culture with community engagement, we aim to create a signature event that reflects the spirit of Rochester and leaves a lasting impact on the city.
