Rods & Hogs returns to downtown Jamestown June 13
Classic cars, motorcycles and rat rods will fill downtown Jamestown on June 13 as Rods & Hogs brings traffic, crowds and summer energy back to Main Street.
Downtown Jamestown is set to get one of its biggest warm-weather bursts of activity when Rods & Hogs returns Saturday, June 13. The all-day gathering will bring classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, rat rods, monster trucks and other motorized entries into the heart of the city, turning First Avenue South into a display of local hobby culture and a steady draw for Main Street businesses.
The event is listed on the North Dakota state events calendar as Rods & Hogs & Things that Go VROOM! at Downtown First Avenue S in Jamestown. Organizers are inviting participants to bring whatever motorized pride and joy they want to show off, making the event as much a community showcase as a car show.
For Jamestown residents, the appeal goes beyond the vehicles themselves. Rods & Hogs creates an easy Saturday outing for families, car lovers and anyone looking to spend time downtown, while also generating the kind of foot traffic that helps restaurants, shops and other businesses nearby. In a city this size, that mix of nostalgia, conversation and local spending has made the event one of downtown’s signature summer rituals.
The show has an established following. NewsDakota described the 2025 edition as the 10th Annual Rods & Hogs, and coverage has called it one of the community’s favorite downtown events. In 2025, 1st Avenue South was blocked from the railroad tracks to 3rd Street South, giving the event a defined downtown footprint and signaling the traffic shifts residents and visitors have come to expect.
Organizers have also built the day around more than parked vehicles. A 2025 event listing said the show includes food, fun and games, and follow-up coverage noted participation by the Jamestown Drag Racing Association and the Jamestown Mystics, broadening the event’s reach beyond a simple display of engines and paint.
Registration forms are available through the Jamestown Downtown website, and those seeking more information can contact Lynn Lambrecht by phone. With its mix of classic iron, family activity and downtown energy, Rods & Hogs remains one of Jamestown’s most visible summer traditions.
