The popular Cruise Nights and Summer Concert Series returns to downtown Lombard for the 2025 season, brought to you by Tommy’s Express Car Wash.

Now in its 26th year, the free summer series will kick off on Saturday, June 14, and run for 10 Saturdays through Aug. 23.

These events will once again offer fun, family-friendly evenings filled with classic cars, live music and a lively downtown atmosphere. The events will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. each Saturday, with live music from 6 to 9 p.m. on South Park Avenue.

Families with young children are encouraged to stop by the Kids’ Corner area, sponsored by Kelly Stetler Real Estate | Compass and Kitchen Refresh by CMH Home Co., to enjoy a variety of fun activities, including face painting, balloon artists, magic shows and more.

The 2025 concert lineup includes:

• June 14: Centerfold (classic rock hits to the pop favorites of today)

• June 21: Karla and the Phat Cats (soulful renditions of pop, rock and blues music)

• June 28: Reckless (dance, pop, and rock cover band)

• July 12: Hillbilly Rockstarz (country rock band)

• July 19: Rocks Off (Rolling Stones tribute band)

• July 26: Kaleidoscope Eyes (acoustic Beatles tribute band)

• Aug. 2: Anchors Away (yacht rock)

• Aug. 9: Heartache Tonight (Eagles tribute band)

• Aug. 16: Blooze Brothers (1940s-today, Motown, soul and Blues Brothers tribute band)

• Aug. 23: Hi Infidelity (1980s rock cover band)

Additionally, to help accommodate the large-scale layout of the finale event, address limited cruise car parking and prioritize the safety of all attendees, the Cruise Car portion of the series will run through Saturday, Aug. 16, only.

The series will conclude on Aug. 23 with a Summer Concert Finale, featuring a live music concert on St. Charles Road, without the classic car display.
