Picnic next to classic cars

Motorheads are racing to Hanging Rock for the Annual Picnic at Hanging Rock Car Show.

The annual event is held on the second Sunday in February every year and hosted by the Macedon Ranges and District Motoring Club, and will once again showcase thousands of unique and interesting vehicles and their owners, with thousands of spectators expected.

The event was originally run to allow club members and friends an opportunity to meet for a picnic in the park with their families, but has now expanded to become one of the biggest classic motoring exhibition days in the state.

The only criteria for vehicles displayed is that it must be 25 years or older, able to be driven to the event, and must be someone’s pride and joy.

There will also be two-wheeled classics on show as well, alongside plenty of family entertainment, market stalls and food stalls.

The Annual Picnic at Hanging Rock Car Show will be held on Sunday 8 February at Hanging Rock. The gates will open at 8am for display cars to set up.

The club recommends purchasing tickets online before the event to ensure smooth entry.
