Easter car hop bouncing back to Mangawhai

The annual car show is fast becoming an Easter tradition.

Fans of motors, music and family fun should head to Mangawhai Domain on Easter Sunday, April 9 for the third annual Mainstream Mangawhai Easter Hop car show.

Dozens of pristine classic cars, hot rods and vintage vehicles will be on display at the sportsfield, as well as utes and trucks, and there will be prizes for the most impressive.

There’s plenty going on for non-petrolheads too, with stalls, food trucks, soft drinks, children’s entertainment and a live band.

And, as in previous years, participants and their passengers are encouraged to dress in retro fashion for the Miss Easter Hop competition

Organiser Mangawhai Muscle and Classic Car Club will open the gates at 8.30am for anyone wanting to participate, and the show itself will start at 10am. There’s no registration required, just turn up and pay $20 per car and occupants, or $5 per person on foot and kids get in for free. All the proceeds will go to Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifeguard Service and the Mangawhai Domain Society.

Eftpos will be available, but the Easter Hop is an alcohol, dog and gang patch-free event.
