burn the point: parade & street dance
sept 1, 2023 at 6:00 PM
In the 50’s and 60’s the block between 2nd and 3rd Avenues North and N 29th ST and Broadway was a constant flow of young people and their cars, in both directions, “burning the point.” It was the place to meet and greet. The tradition continues today, thousands gather in the streets of downtown Billings every Labor Day weekend. Some to remember the days and cars of their youth, some too young to know what cruisin was all about, but all to enjoy the rumble of the classic cars as they roll on by.
The parade brings the streets to life at 6:00 pm when the first of over 500 cars rumble down 3rd Ave N. Kurt Anthony and Major Dan Miller from MOJO 92.5 FM announce the cars from the front of the Q2 Studios and the Babcock Theater, respectively.
After the last car has passed, the band will fire up on Broadway and there will be dancing in the streets. This is a holiday worth staying in town for.
