It was widely expected that 2024 would mark the final year for Dodge to host the Roadkill Nights automotive festival in Metro Detroit, but the brand has announced that the horsepower-fueled event will happen in 2025. We do not yet know exactly where in Metro Detroit Roadkill Nights 2025 will be held, but we know that it is happening on August 9th – one week before the Woodward Dream Cruise.
The press release announcing that Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge would be happening later this year provided very little information, but we do know a few key points. There will be a drag racing program, there will be a Direct Connection Grudge Race program, there will be a car show, there will be plenty of Dodge displays, there will be thrill rides in the new Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and there will be some new Dodge products making their debut.
“Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge is marking a decade for one reason, and that’s the fans and the Dodge enthusiasts who have come out by the thousands and supported Roadkill Nights since it was a grassroots event in the parking lot of the Silverdome,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. “Each edition of the event gets bigger and better and, knowing what we have planned, the 10th year will be the best year yet.”
The company has promised more details in June, at which point we can expect to learn about the location of the event and who will be participating in the Direct Connection Grudge Race program.
