Car enthusiasts are expected to flock to the first-ever Broadmeadows Street Festival on April 3 to catch a glimpse of classic and muscle cars, and hot rods.

Some of the primped and primed machines to be shown at the Hume council-run festival are owned by members of Northern Gals, a northern suburbs-based car club.

Paula Scarso started Northern Gals about two years ago to attract more women to a predominantly blokey scene.

Ms Scarso, who owns a 74 Celica, 73 Valiant Charger and 73 Ford XB GS, says she will most likely drive her Charger to the festival because it “sounds tough and goes pretty quick.”

Cars won’t be the only attractions, though, with dancing, live music and food from all over the world available.

Fireworks from 8pm will round out the day’s festivities.

It all unfolds on from 3-8pm on April 3 at Tanderrum Way, Broadmeadows.
