WEEKLY WHEELS CAR + BIKE MEETS DRIVEN BY HEMMINGS.COM

Welcome to the Weekly Wheels Car + Bike Meets Driven By Hemmings.com at Buck Hill – the largest weekly gathering of car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiasts in the greater Minneapolis and St. Paul metro. Every Wednesday from May 14th through September 10th, 2025, gearheads, families, and fans of all things on wheels unite from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Rain or shine, it’s a celebration of community, chrome, and culture you won’t want to miss.

The Weekly Wheels Car + Bike Meets are more than a parking lot hangout – they’re a summer tradition. Each week, hundreds of hand-selected vehicles roll through Buck Hill’s spacious parking lot (300 spots for show cars & 125 spots for spectators). From vintage European roadsters to American muscle, custom choppers to cutting-edge electric conversions, Weekly Wheels celebrates the full spectrum of enthusiast vehicles. If you’re a lifelong builder or just dipping your toes into car culture, Weekly Wheels has a place for you.

Family Friendly Environment | Weekly Wheels is open to everyone – car clubs, lone riders, families, and first-time visitors. The atmosphere is safe, welcoming, and family-oriented, making it the perfect weeknight outing for all ages. Bring the kids, grab a bite, and soak in the scene. It’s more than a car meet -it’s a community event.

Food & Drink | No car meet is complete without great food and drink. Buck ‘54 Bar & Grill fires up the BBQ, and a rotating lineup of local breweries on tap. If you’re in the mood for burgers, tacos, sweet treats, or just an ice cold beer we’ve got you covered. Thirsty? Grab a cold drink and stay awhile.

Tap Takeover | Fuel your night with more than just horsepower – each month during Weekly Wheels Car + Bike Meets driven by Hemmings.com, a top-tier craft brewery takes over the taps at Buck ‘54 Bar & Grill! 

From limited-release pours to specialty brews you won’t find in stores, Tap Takeovers are your chance to taste, learn, and celebrate great beer with brewery reps on-site. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a craft beer junkie, you’ll discover something new and exciting.

June: Revolution Brewing | July: Surly Brewing Co. | August: Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. | September: TBA

Don’t just park – sip, sample, and enjoy!
