Saturday, 20th February V8 & Motorcycle Show and Swap meet Paeroa Racecourse
This is a popular day for the petrol heads and enthusiasts. Held the day before the “Battle of the Streets” bike races, so that people can come the day before and see the cars and stop over for the bike racing the next day.
Swap meet stalls are set up early in the morning ready for a day’s ‘trading’ and stalls selling other things join them for a marketplace atmosphere. Coffee carts and sausage sizzles fill the air with rich aromas and live music keeps the tempo of the day. The racecourse opens it’s bar to cater for those who want to “wet their whistle” with something a little stronger.
Join the crowds to see the V8s parade through the main street of Paeroa.
