Octane & Iron 2026 summer schedule

Big News from Menomonie Cars & Caffeine!

Back in 2021, we started Menomonie Cars & Caffeine as a simple idea: get local car enthusiasts together early on Saturday mornings to share coffee, cool rides, and good conversation. What started as a small gathering quickly grew into something special — a fun, welcoming community of people who love cars and connecting with others.

Over the past few seasons, our event has evolved. Instead of early mornings, we now meet every other Thursday evening during the summer, enjoying warm nights, great cars, and the laid-back cruise-night vibe that so many of you have come to love.

Because of that change, we felt it was time for a name that better reflects when we meet and who we are today.

Introducing: Octane & Iron – Menomonie

Same great community. Same welcoming atmosphere. Just a name that better reflects the evening energy, horsepower, and passion that bring us all together.

What won’t change is what matters most:

• A relaxed, community-focused event

• A place where all vehicles and enthusiasts are welcome

• Friends, families, and neighbors coming together over a shared love of cars

Whether you drive a classic, muscle car, hot rod, truck, or motorcycle you’re part of the community that makes this event great.

So as we head into the next chapter, we invite you to join us at Octane & Iron – Menomonie and help keep the engines of our local car culture running strong.

Same great people. Same great cars.

Just a name that fits the vibe a little better.

See you every other Thursday night this summer!
