After a more low-key event last summer, the Hibiscus Rodders are looking forward to being back at full strength with the Hibiscus Rodders Beach Festival, which is on Auckland Anniversary weekend, January 27-29, in Ōrewa.
Once again, it is raising funds to support the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.
Show coordinator Sharon Morris says they are keeping it simple this year. And there are plenty of opportunities for the public to admire the cars and get involved.
The first chance to check out all those polished to perfection hot rods is at Friday Food Truck night on Ōrewa Reserve, by the surf club.
That same night sees the first Shot in the Dark cruise. Starting at 8pm, the cars will cruise the length of Ōrewa Boulevard. Sit at your favourite restaurant and watch them pass.
On Saturday there will be entertainment on Ōrewa Reserve, including the Miss Hibiscus Vintage competition, live performances and an auction with proceeds to the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust.
At 3.30pm the cars will leave Ōrewa in convoy, led by a cavalcade of motorbikes. They are heading to Puhoi pub for competitions such as What’s under your Hood.
On Sunday all the hot rods will line Ōrewa Boulevard for the show and shine. The grand prize giving will also be held for the major prize of a Gold Coast Getaway.
