8 27th Annual Hot Rod & Classic Car Festival Weekend
Entertainment for the whole family with over 600-plus cars and bikes to see, along with our swap meet sites and trade sites.
A tradition of the Hot Rod & Classic Car festival is to have a central theme and this year is no different. We will be celebrating the pre 75 Muscle Car Era. From stock and mild to wild, there are many great Muscle Cars Marques to honour, in fact so much so we decided it was worthy as this year's feature. We have kids' hot rod rides, bouncy castles, merry-go-rounds and a large variety of food and coffee stalls along with the clubs sausage sizzle with free apples. This year we once again will be running a fashion pageant for the ladies and for the men a Beard Competition. Public gate entry: Adults $10, children 5-13 $3.
Meannee Speedway, Sandy Rd: Tomorrow, 10am.
