Rev up your engines and mark your calendars because the annual Rodders Beach Festival is hitting the streets of Orewa soon.

Registrations and pre-purchase ticket sales for the annual event are now open.

The Rodders Beach Festival will be held on the weekend of 26th to 28th January 2024, and it will be filled with classic cars, live entertainment, competition and loads of family fun.

The festival is for a great cause too - to raise funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

When you buy your tickets in advance, you not only secure your entry but also receive an extra entry into the Ze Giveaway trip draw.

These ticket holders will also receive their registration packs before the event, ensuring a smooth drive through the express lane upon entry.

One ticket is required for each vehicle, not per passenger.

All those in the car can ride for free, which makes for an excellent family day out. 

The festival is open to all American-origin or pre-1978 cars, caravans, motorbikes and trikes.

If you have a vehicle outside this criteria, you will need to get approval from the show committee before you enter.

The Rodders Beach Festival promises an exciting lineup of events and competitions. 

The action kicks off at Orewa Reserve at 3pm on Friday, 26 January with ‘Food Truck Friday’, featuring music, delectable food, and plenty of hot rods, followed by the Mothers NZ Shot in the Dark event at 8pm.

On Saturday, the Orewa Reserve will come alive from 8am with entertainment, rock ‘n roll dancing, a live auction, the Miss Hibiscus Vintage competition, and the Ze Cruise to The Puhoi Pub for the ‘What’s Under your Hood’ competition for the VIP entrants.

On Sunday, Orewa Boulevard will host the ‘Mothers NZ Show ‘n Shine’ with live entertainment and a grand prize giving ceremony with the winner of the Ze Gold Coast trip draw being announced.

The event ends with the spectacular Ze Build Grande Parade at 1pm, heading to the Country Club for more competitions.
