More than 200 cars will pack into the Lancefield football oval on Sunday, April 16 for the annual Lancefield swap meet and car show.
The event, which is in its 28th year, is expected to attract thousands of motoring enthusiasts.
The meet will be open from 7am to about 2pm, with judging on the main oval starting at 11am.
Show facilitator Pam Choate said the day is great for the community with stall holders coming from across Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales.
“It’s been running for 28 years, and we’ve only missed [two] because of COVID-19,” she said.
“It made a resurgence again last year and has come back just as strong as ever.”
Ms Choate said they are expecting over 3000 people to attend the event, with stalls selling something for everyone.
“We have some indoor stalls which have lots of collectors items … the outdoor stalls will all sell car parts, bric-a-brac, some will have clothes and preserves like jam,” she said.
There will also be food available to purchase and coffee vans.
“It’s also great for the town… people will always say [they] didn’t realise it is such a beautiful little town,” Ms Choate said,
Entry on the day is $6 per person and there will be five judging categories, including best street rod, best vintage car, best classic car, best motorcycle and best overall vehicle at the show.
There will also be a $200 prize for best overall vehicle.
