TWO New SoCal Truck Debuts – First Ever Anaheim Appearances!

The full-throttle, ramp-smashing powerhouses of Monster Jam® and Tech Deck® have come together to launch the newest Monster Jam truck, Tech Deck® Wreck Deck™.  Inspired by the fearless world of skateboarding, this truck treats the stadium like a massive skatepark, catching big air like it’s hitting a vert ramp, stomping landings, and going for the coolest tricks.  This limitless and resilient Monster Jam truck was first unveiled at the X Games in Salt Lake City this summer ahead of the marquee Monster Jam World Finals® XXIV event where the truck grinded down a 60-foot rail as the epic Kickoff Stunt (check out the stunt video here). 

Making the first-ever SoCal debut appearance, say hello to the Bailey Circuit™ Monster Jam® truck – the big-wheeled best friend with a nose for adventure! Inspired by Ringling’s® fan-favorite robotic pup, the latest addition to Monster Jam’s fleet comes thanks to a first-of-its-kind collaboration between The Greatest Show On Earth® and Monster Jam. Bailey Circuit is here to chase down big air jumps and fetch some fun for the whole crowd. Tail wags included!  

Feel the Thrill of Full-Throttle Fun

Get ready for big-time entertainment as Anaheim roars to life with gravity-defying stunts, heart-pounding races, and plenty of big air!  The world’s best drivers tear up the dirt as they battle for the Event Championship in three competitions: Racing, Skills, and everyone’s favorite, Freestyle, where Monster Jam trucks defy the laws of physics and do the impossible.  Fans will be right in the middle of the action, helping to crown the Event Champion as they get to score the drivers in real time based on their skills, stunts, and saves.

Start the Fun Early at the Monster Jam Pit Party®

The day of fun starts at the Monster Jam Pit Party® on both Saturday and Sunday each weekend – your first stop for selfies with the trucks, high-fives and autographs from drivers, and family-friendly activities. It’s the perfect way to start a day of adrenaline-charged fun, plus get an insider’s look at how these 12,000-pound trucks are built to stand up to the competition.  The Monster Jam Pit Party – where the fun begins.

Don’t Miss the Monster Jam Trackside Experience There’s no better way to get ready for the action than Monster Jam Trackside, happening about an hour before the event. It’s packed with driver interviews, pit crew sneak peeks, and epic giveaways that’ll get everyone pumped up before the action begins. Then, watch as the opening ceremonies set the stage for one-of-a-kind fun for the whole family!

Meet the Superstars of Monster Jam!

These aren’t just any drivers – they’re world-class male and female athletes who have mastered controlling these 12,000-pound beasts. Whether pulling off insane backflips, nailing vertical 2-wheel tricks, or tearing up the track in all-out racing, these drivers are ready to wow fans with the most mind-blowing live motorsports action around.

The competition is fierce as 12 top drivers battle it out for the Stadium Championship Series West title and a coveted spot in the Monster Jam World Finals® in Salt Lake City, Utah, on July 4th weekend. You’ll be on the edge of your seat watching the world’s most popular trucks and drivers like Tyler Menninga in the legendary Grave Digger®; Ryan Anderson, celebrating 15 years of Son-uva Digger® in 2026; the 6-ton unicorn with a bold attitude, Sparkle Smash® driven by Kayla Blood; Bryce Kenny behind the wheel of the new Tech Deck® Wreck Deckä; plus the debut of Bailey Circuit™, the all-new Monster Jam truck inspired by Ringling’s fan-favorite robotic pup.  You can’t get this kind of wow just anywhere!

The sculptural installation, An Ocean in a Drop, will invite exploration on Main Beach while Fernández engages visitors with a photography station named We Are Water, where visitors can pose with Fernández’s artwork that reflects the ocean.

This October, immerse yourself in the vibrant artistic community of the high desert surrounding Joshua Tree National Park as over 200 artists open their studios for the annual HWY 62 Open Studio Art Tours. The event kicks off with the Art Tours Collective Exhibition at the new Hi-Desert Artists Center in Yucca Valley (September 27–October 19), features three weekends of self-guided open studio tours (October 4–5, 11–12, and 18–19) and “Art Tours After Dark” live music performances by local bands and musicians on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights during each weekend of the Art Tours.

Explore the unique fusion of nature and creativity across nearly 150 studios nestled in the high desert landscapes of the Joshua Tree region. Visitors can engage directly with artists, discover work across a wide range of mediums and styles, and purchase art in the setting where it was created.

“For over 20 years, the HWY 62 Art Tours has been where the desert’s creative energy meets community,” said Art Tours Coordinator John Henson. “This year’s Collective Exhibition and After Dark concerts deepen that connection, creating new ways for people to experience the art and spirit of the Joshua Tree area.”

Presented by the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council (MBCAC), an organization partly funded by the California Arts Council, the HWY 62 Open Studio Art Tours is proudly sponsored by Visit 29 Palms, with the Art Tours Collective Exhibition sponsored by the Town of Yucca Valley. Together, they ensure that all Art Tours events stay free and accessible to everyone in the community.

Art Tours After Dark

Art Tours After Dark will showcase more than 40 live music performances from the thriving local music scene once the artist studios close on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights—during all three weekends of Art Tours. Venues across the Morongo Basin — including Giant Rock Meeting Room, Art Queen, Joshua Tree Saloon, Spaghetti Western, Red Dog Saloon, Grnd Sqrl, Kitchen in the Desert, The Palms Restaurant, and Mojave Gold — will host the free events, offering visitors art by day and music by night.

Art Tours Collective Exhibition

The Art Tours Collective Exhibition offers a preview of the Tour’s participating artists at the new Hi-Desert Artists Center, 55635 29 Palms Hwy in Yucca Valley. Sponsored by the Town of Yucca Valley, the exhibition is on view from September 27 to October 19, 2025, and is an excellent opportunity to see a selection of work before planning studio visits.
