The Kumeu Classic Car & Hot Rod Festival is a family-run event held at the Kumeu A&P Showgrounds on Access Road in Kumeu, West Auckland. It brings together more than 4,000 classic cars and hot rods, with swap sites and trade stalls selling car parts, tools, memorabilia, retro clothing, antiques and vintage goods. There are also a retro caravan display, slot cars, kids' hot rod racing, drag car start-ups, live music and food stalls.
Access is by State Highway 16, and the website warns that traffic can be heavy at weekends, with alternative routes via Taupaki Road or Swanson Road and Waitakere Road. Public parking is signposted, and display cars use Gate 6. Dogs are not allowed, except registered support dogs. Motorbikes are not allowed inside the grounds, and bike parking is in the community hall car park on Access Road. The website says the public closes at 1 pm on Sunday, and it offers on-site EFTPOS cash withdrawals.
