The Car Show always draws a big crowd.Each August, the Igniters Car Club holds their annual car show on the streets of Libby. Formerly called 'Hot August Nites', the show is now called "Ignite the Nites". This year will be the 47th anniversary of the open car show. The Igniters Car Club of Libby was established in 1961.

The car show is ALWAYS the 3rd weekend in August, and is open to all makes and model vehicles.

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 the Libby Drive-In Theater. There will be a dance Saturday night at the Memorial Center.

This event has grown each year with almost 200 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.
