WHEELS AT WANAKA RETURNS - EASTER 2025
EARTHMOVING PRACTISE DAY: FRIDAY 18 APRIL
MAIN SHOW: SATURDAY 19 + SUNDAY 20 APRIL

If it's got Wheels or Tracks it'll be on display!

Wheels at Wanaka is proudly presented by ThreeParks Wanaka. In 2025, we celebrate the final Wheels at Wanaka along with 100 Years of Caterpillar.  As a charitable trust, hundreds of thousands of funds have been raised for various national, regional and local charities including Cure Our Ovarian Cancer, Heart Kids NZ (via the Heartlands Tractor Trek) and Wanaka Coast Guard.

Wheels at Wanaka is an all vehicle, all machinery history-in-motion vintage fair - including steam engines, tractors and farming heritage, cars, motor-bikes, trucks, earthmovers and heavy machinery.

Buzzing with energy, Wheels at Wanaka is huge! With over 50 acres of entertainment, tractor pulling and Enduro-X competitions, an earthmoving extravaganza and a non-stop parade ground programme - a weekend is barely enough to see everything!

volunteer crew needed

Volunteers are key to making community events run smoothly and provide a warm local welcome for many people coming along from outside of our region.

You don’t need to be into cars, truck or machines to get involved - we also need the assistance of awesome, helpful, energetic and friendly people over the three event days, as well set up and pack down.
