Hot Wheels Monster Trucks roll into Ball Arena July 10, 11, and 12 with a fire-breathing dinosaur

If your kid has ever launched a Hot Wheels truck off the couch and into the dog, they’re going to lose their mind this weekend.
Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live: Glow-N-Fire takes over Ball Arena on Saturday and Sunday with three shows’ worth of car-crushing, fire-spewing, glow-in-the-dark mayhem — and a fire-breathing robot dinosaur, because apparently monster trucks alone aren’t enough anymore.
The 2026 Glow-N-Fire tour — which won Pollstar’s Family Show of the Year award last year — returns with fan favorites Mega Wrex, Tiger Shark, Bigfoot, Bone Shaker, HW 5-Alarm and Skelesaurus, plus the debut of Rhinomite, a new rhino-themed truck “charging horn-first into challenges.” The show also features freestyle motocross riders performing what the tour calls a never-before-seen no-handed front flip, which sounds exactly as terrifying as it is.
Show times at Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Circle) are Saturday at 11:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Pre-show parties run two and a half hours before each performance, giving kids a chance to see the trucks up close before the smashing starts. Tickets range from $22 to $103 through Ticketmaster, with special kids’ pricing available. VIP packages — Full Throttle, Pedal to the Metal and Start Your Engine — include backstage tours, driver meet-and-greets, merch bundles and front-row seats at the top tier.
RTD’s C, E and W light rail lines all stop at the Ball Arena/Elitch Gardens station for anyone who’d rather not fight parking.
