About the event

Cruisin' to the Square
Cruisin’ to the Square (formerly Hot August Night) is a summer favorite and one of Jefferson’s most popular downtown events. Held every year on the second Thursday of August, this classic car night brings the square to life with chrome, engines, and small-town fun.

Hosted by Jefferson Matters, this annual event welcomes people of all ages to stroll the historic downtown square and surrounding streets while checking out a wide variety of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and antique tractors.

Vehicle registration is free, with online registration available ahead of time, and day-of registration is also welcome. Participants can show off their ride, take part in a Poker Walk, and compete for prizes awarded in several vehicle categories. Jefferson Matters will also be serving a grilled picnic supper, making it a full evening of cars, food, and community fun.

*If the weather doesn’t cooperate, the rain date is Friday, August 14.
