Join us for the annual Sizzlin’ Summer Nights Car & Bike Show held in Downtown Aberdeen, South Dakota! Pauer Sound, LLC is proud to announce it is taking part in the planning and production of the event this year.

Here’s more information on the event from the Aberdeen Downtown Association:

We are pleased to announce our co-host partnership with Pauer Sound LLC to put on this year’s Sizzlin’ Summer Nights Car Show! The car show will take place on Main Street in Downtown Aberdeen on Saturday, August 24th, 2024 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm. Our co-host partnership with Pauer Sound LLC will mean that the Aberdeen Downtown Association will continue to handle all marketing and advertising for this car show, but our friends at Pauer Sound LLC will be in charge of all event logistics prior to and during the day of this event! We are excited to work together to make this event better for all who attend.

One of the major logistical changes of this event will be that the car show registration is FREE, but there will be NO reserved parking spaces. From 2:30PM to 4:00PM, cars will have one entry point on the intersection of 4th Avenue and Main. Cars will be parked in the order they arrive starting on the end of Main and 6th Avenue, and will be filled in down to Railroad Avenue and into the Avenues. If you have a car group that wants to be together, you will need to arrive and be in line together. If you are an owner with multiple cars but will need to make more than one trip to park your cars, please reach out to Alex at Pauer Sound LLC and he can discuss options. If you have any other questions about this, please email pauersound.carshow@gmail.com and they can help you from there.

If you would like to join the car show’s large bike group and arrive with them all at once, please meet them at Melgaard Park at 4:30PM to arrive at 5:00PM. We recommend joining the group, as it is a fun (and loud) spectacle to see everyone pulling into the show together!

CONDUCT REMINDER: This event is hosted by a non-profit organization and staffed with unpaid volunteers, many of whom are young people and NSU college students helping out to make our community better. Please be patient and kind with them and remember that verbal or physical aggression towards volunteers, staff, or other car show attendees will not be tolerated. Misconduct may result in removal from the current or any future car show(s). Remember the Golden Rule and please choose kindness. It’s a beautiful Sizzlin’ summer day, so let’s sit back, admire some cool cars, and have fun in Aberdeen Downtown!
