From Roaring Engines to Flying Stunts: A Weekend Built for Family Fun
If you’re looking for a way to break out of the usual routine and do something that actually excites the whole family, this is your moment.
Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live™: Glow-N-Fire is pulling into Baton Rouge for the first time, and it’s bringing a full weekend of high-energy, can’t-look-away action to the Raising Cane’s River Center. This is the kind of event where kids are wide-eyed the entire time—and adults end up just as into it.

Think massive, real-life versions of the trucks you grew up with, tearing through the arena with wild stunts, jumps, and over-the-top theatrics. Fan favorites like Mega Wrex™, Tiger Shark™, Bone Shaker™, Bigfoot®, and more are all part of the lineup, along with the debut of a brand-new truck, Rhinomite—a rhino-inspired powerhouse built to steal the show.
Beyond the trucks themselves, the entire production is designed to keep the energy high from start to finish. There are freestyle motocross riders pulling off gravity-defying tricks (including a no-hands front flip), plus a fire-breathing, car-crushing robot dinosaur that feels straight out of a movie. It’s loud, it’s fast, and it’s the kind of spectacle that keeps everyone locked in from the first engine rev to the final crash.
What really makes this a standout family outing is everything that happens beyond the main show. The pre-show experience gives fans the chance to step onto the arena floor, get up close with the trucks, meet drivers, and grab autographs. For kids, it’s not just watching—it’s interacting, exploring, and feeling like they’re part of it all.
If you want to take it up a notch, there’s also a behind-the-scenes VIP experience that gives a closer look at how everything comes together before the action starts. It’s a cool add-on for families who want to turn the day into something even more memorable.

With multiple showtimes across the weekend, it’s easy to plan around your schedule—whether you’re making it a Saturday afternoon outing, a night out with the kids, or a Sunday family plan.
At the end of the day, this is one of those events that hits all the marks: something different, something exciting, and something you can enjoy together. It’s big entertainment, Baton Rouge style—perfect for making a few core memories along the way.
Tickets and additional details are available online, and if you’ve got kids (or you’re just a kid at heart), this is one you won’t want to miss.
