Things are heating up in Alma—and not just the weather! Hot Alma Nights 2025 rolls into town on Saturday, August 16, and it’s shaping up to be the biggest celebration yet. Now in its 17th year, this beloved car show brings downtown Alma to life with classic cars, rock’n’roll tunes, and a whole lot of nostalgia.
What began as a fun community event has grown into something even more meaningful. In 2023, organizers turned Hot Alma Nights into a fundraiser to help Wabaunsee County residents facing major medical expenses. It’s become a day of vintage charm with a purpose.
The 2025 schedule is packed with excitement. The show officially begins at 11:00 AM, and at 1:00 PM, local artist Tyler Swain will perform live in the park. Expect a lively mix of cars, food trucks, vendors, and great music throughout the afternoon. The car show wraps up with a breathtaking sunset cruise through the Flint Hills at 5:00 PM.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Join us back at the Brandt House patio from 7:00–9:00 PM for live music on the patio.
Hot Alma Nights 2024 was a milestone for Brandt House, as we opened our doors mid-construction and invited the community inside. Guests signed the studs—literally leaving their mark on our hotel’s history.
Now fully restored and proud to call downtown Alma home, Brandt House is honored to sponsor Hot Alma Nights 2025. It’s more than just a car show—it’s a celebration of community, heritage, and hope.
Rooms are still available, so book your stay today—and experience the magic of Hot Alma Nights!
