The event had an attendance of between 12,553 and 19,955 people. While working for Jim Crockett Promotions, Jim Cornette was told that the show drew 15,000. It was the first show in Hawaii to gross over $100,000 and remained the state's highest-attended pro wrestling event during the 1980s wrestling boom. The record lasted for over 5 years until the WWF held a live event at the same venue in 1991. A second installment, A Hot Summers Night II, was held the following year but had a much smaller turnout due to a severe rainstorm. The failure of this second supercard, and a disastrous 1987 tour of California, is blamed for the promotion's close only three years later.
Several matches from A Hot Summer Night were broadcast on the promotion's syndicated television program Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling and on TV Asahi for NJPW's World Pro Wrestling later that month. A number of these episodes were released on VHS and DVD in the early-2000s, however, the full show is not commercially available. In May 2022, the event was depicted on the "Backyard Brawl-B-Q" episode of Young Rock.
