Southland Summer Wheels

Celebrating Southland’s 'wheely' good events speeding into action this summer

Calling all riders, drivers, and classic car revivers! Murihiku Southland isn’t just a great place to visit with a vehicle; it's a place built for them! Wide-open roads, epic scenery and a deep-rooted motoring culture make Southland the ultimate destination for a wheely good summer. You bet your lucky 'cars’ it is!

From grassroots car clubs to internationally recognised races, motoring events are woven into the fabric of Southland life. They celebrate our pioneering spirit, bring communities together, and showcase the region's legendary landscapes in a way only wheels can. For locals, they're a proud tradition; for visitors, they're a front-row seat to Southland at full throttle.

This summer, gears will be grinding, engines cranking and wheels spinning flat-tack across the region. Check out our wheel-tastic lineup of events below and immerse yourself in Southland's passion for all things on wheels.

Whether it be hot rods, motorbikes, skate jams or tractors, Southland has whatever spins your wheels, tyres and treads. 

Of course, we are only ‘tread’ing the surface, so be sure you discover all of what Southland Wheels has to offer right here.
