Each August, the Igniters Car Club holds their annual car show on the streets of Libby. This year will be the 48th anniversary of the open car show. The Igniters Car Club of Libby was established in 1961, making it the oldest active Car Club in Montana.

The car show is ALWAYS the 3rd weekend in August. It is an OPEN car show to all makes and model of vehicles.

This year's car show theme is "Flower Power/Hippie Days." There will be prizes awarded for the best costume and decorated theme car. So dig out those bellbottoms, sandals and those funk sunglasses and come join in the fun.

Registration is on Friday from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm and on Saturday morning from 8:00 am to noon downtown on Mineral Avenue.

Friday is registration, cruising, poker run, flame-thrower contest and neon contest. Saturday is the formal car show day with awards and the burn-out afterwards. The burn-out contest is always Saturday after the car show.

The burn-out will be held at a new location this year, at the Libby Motocross Park. Directions: From Libby, take US Highway 2 South, turn left (east) approximately 300 feet past the Town Pump.

On Saturday night, dance the night away to "The Reflections" from Bellingham, Washington, playing at the Memorial Center from 9 pm to 1 am.

This event has grown each year with almost 250 entries in recent years. The show features categories for Best of Show, People's Choice, Most Improved and other categories for specific types and vintages of automobiles and motorcycles. Vehicles are lined up along Mineral Avenue allowing people to wander on the street viewing the vehicles and talk with the owners.
