Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire Rolls Into Everett Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day weekend at Angel of the Winds Arena is getting a major upgrade. Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live Glow-N-Fire is bringing its 2026 tour to downtown Everett for three shows, May 30 through May 31, and if the name “Glow-N-Fire” does not already tell you where this is headed, the tour’s marketing is leaning hard into pyrotechnics, LED lighting, and trucks that literally breathe fire. It is 75 minutes of loud, and it is built for kids.
Here is everything a family in Everett, Mukilteo, Marysville, or anywhere in Snohomish County needs to know before buying tickets.
Showtimes at Angel of the Winds Arena
- Saturday, May 30, 2026 — 12:30 p.m. (matinee, family-friendly time slot)
- Saturday, May 30, 2026 — 7:30 p.m. (evening show)
- Sunday, May 31, 2026 — 2:30 p.m. (Sunday afternoon matinee)
All three shows are at Angel of the Winds Arena, 2000 Hewitt Avenue, Everett. For families with younger kids, the 12:30 p.m. Saturday matinee is the best pick. For anyone who wants the full effect of the pyrotechnics and glow elements (which read better in a darker arena), the 7:30 p.m. Saturday night show is the one.
Which Monster Trucks Are on the 2026 Roster?
Glow-N-Fire brings a lineup stacked with the Hot Wheels all-stars plus a brand-new truck making its live debut this year:
- Mega Wrex — the fan-favorite T-rex truck
- Tiger Shark
- HW 5-Alarm
- Bone Shaker
- Bigfoot — the original name in monster truck history
- Gunkster
- Skelesaurus
- Rhinomite — new for 2026, making its live debut on this tour
If your kid has an opinion about which truck is best, it is probably Mega Wrex. Do not fight them on this.
The Pre-Show Party: Arrive Early
The Pre-Show Party presented by Metro by T-Mobile happens 2.5 hours before every performance and is hands-down the best part of the experience for kids. Pre-Show Party access lets fans onto the competition floor to see the monster trucks up close, meet the drivers, take photos, and get autographs. It is a separate ticket, but it is what turns a 75-minute show into a three-hour day.
Translation for parents: if you are paying for the show, pay for Pre-Show access too. The floor time is where the memories happen.
Tickets, Pricing, and Kids’ Deals
Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, the Angel of the Winds Arena box office, and the official Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live website. Special kids pricing is available for all three Everett performances, which typically means a deep discount off the standard adult ticket price when purchased for eligible younger attendees. Exact pricing varies by seating section.
Buy direct through Ticketmaster or the arena box office if you want to avoid secondary-market fees.
What to Expect Inside the Arena
The Glow-N-Fire tour adds enhanced pyrotechnic effects, LED and black-light lighting, and glow-in-the-dark moments to the standard monster truck show. The trucks still do all the things fans expect — big air, wheelies, car crushes, donuts, and head-to-head competition — but the entire arena gets dimmed for the glow and fire sequences, which is spectacular in person and completely worth experiencing at the evening show if possible.
Earplugs are a good idea for kids under 5, and most parents recommend them. The arena sometimes has free foam earplugs at guest services, but bring your own to be safe.
How to Get There
Angel of the Winds Arena is at 2000 Hewitt Avenue in downtown Everett, one block off I-5 at Exit 193. Parking is available in the Everest Station Garage directly adjacent, in the arena’s own lot, and along Hewitt Avenue. For a matinee show, arrive 45 minutes before showtime. For the Saturday night show, plan on 60 minutes of lead time because of parking and concessions lines.
Pro tip for Everett families: the Port of Everett waterfront is 10 minutes away and has multiple kid-friendly restaurants (and ice cream) if you want to build a whole Memorial Day weekend day around the show.
