I'm worried about the warm weather. Well, forecast says its suppose to be 75 degrees. (Ok, not as hot as I thought it was going to be.)
I'm not making cheesecake but red velvet cupcakes with a cheesecake filling.
No access to refrigerator.
I love making these cupcakes because they are always a hit but worried about possibly going bad because of the heat.
It might be possible to not do the cheesecake filling but what about the cheesecake frosting?

Hmm, can you get them super cold or freese them. During the party they can defrost? 75 degrees isn't so bad. They may get a bit sticky, melty, but the integrity of the swirl frosting should hold up.
Will the cupcakes have shade?

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: hmm, I don't know. I can't remember if the park and the location of the party is shady. Good idea on the frozen cupcakes. I could try that. Thanks!

@swedishfish: I don't think they will have room in their cooler but I could bring them in an insulated bag with ice packs or something. Good idea. Thank you.

Honestly? I wouldn't worry too much about them "going bad". Melting, maybe- cream cheese frosting gets a little gross when it's warm- but unless you're planning on transferring some food borne illness to your cupcakes ahead if time by rolling them around on a cutting board where you've been cutting raw meat, there's not a lot of likeliness that anyone would get sick from cream cheese.
ETA: don't freeze them- you'll just have soggy cupcakes when they defrost...

@Pink Champagne: yeah, part of me thinks its fine but wasn't sure if it was just me. I have a stronger stomach than most so I don't usually worry about foods I eat.

Not here, but it is over 100 degrees. If it was 75 out I'd have no issues bringing a cheesecake to that.

Cheesecake itself, no. But filling in a cupcake should be just fine.

i think you will be ok!! 
i also think it would ok to freeze the cupcakes before frosting -- then frost the frozen cupcakes immediately before you leave the house and transport in a cooler bag!
unfrosted cake/cupcakes freeze + defrost very well. if you are worried and have the time you could test run it first too
they sound really yummy!

I think any temp over 60 is iffy for items that should normally be refrigerated if they are going to sit out.
