Central Ave Car Social

The Central Ave Car Social returns to Rail Werks Brewing Depot in Columbia Heights, Minn., on the fourth Thursday of each month. The August edition takes place Aug. 27, 2026, welcoming all makes and models – from classic cars and exotic European vehicles to tuned imports and vintage station wagons.

Admission is free and the event is family friendly. Each car entry earns the driver $2 off a meal. Attendees are asked to follow safety guidelines, including turning off engines and refraining from revving or burnouts out of respect for neighboring residents.
