Kool Deadwood Nites spans a total of five days, bringing car lovers together for an event full of classic cars, classic music and classic fun. That’s five nights of live, world-class entertainment – and four concert nights are completely free and open to the public. It’s a true sock hop – Deadwood style. Enjoy the region’s best classic car show, including a parade, show-and-shine and FREE concerts on Deadwood’s Historic Main Street. The event kicks off Wednesday, August 24 and continues through Sunday, August 28. New this year, all Kool Deadwood Nites attendees will be able to ride the Deadwood Trolley at no charge.
That’s five nights of classic music entertainment! Four of which are completely free and open to the public!
The true celebration of Kool Deadwood Nites revolves around the cars. Each year more than 700 classic cars attend the event and go bumper-to-bumper in the Kool Deadwood Nites Classic Car Competition. Spectators can view the cars throughout the event, including during the judging period from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, August 27, at the Days of ’76 Event Complex and adjoining Ferguson Field. Winners are announced at the History & Information Center on Sunday morning (11 a.m.) following the Classic Car parade (9 a.m.) and Show n’ Shine (10 a.m.) on Historic Main Street. Registration of classic car entries for 2022 Kool Deadwood Nites will be held at the Deadwood Welcome Center, 501 Main Street. Other weekend events include rod runs and poker runs. The Classic Car Auction is held at Deadwood Mountain Grand Thursday through Saturday. For more information contact McPherson Auction & Realty at (605) 484-1781 or at (605) 381-1594.
