Hot Wheels Monster Trucks in NOLA

Hot Wheels has been a staple of the children's toy market since the mid-twentieth century. '90s kids will remember the introduction of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks such as Bigfoot and Grave Digger popping on our screens. These colorful, rugged bodied toys brought the thrilling world of monster trucks jams to our bedrooms. Now, the whole family can see these toys come to life in New Orleans!

The Hot Wheels Monster Jam Trucks, loved for over 30 years, have come to life with the Glow-n-Fire live events sweeping the nation since 2019. This national tour returns to New Orleans this June in all its fiery glory. For two days, June 18 and June 19, the Smoothie King Center will once again host this jaw-dropping, engine-roaring event.
