Vintage vehicle enthusiasts and the wider community are in for a memorable experience when the 2023 National Veteran Vehicle Tour rolls into Griffith.
Griffith City Council is proud to be supporting the week-long tour of Griffith and the surrounding region as they showcase more than 100 veteran cars and bikes.
On Monday October 2 2023, the vehicles will be gathering at the Griffith Pioneer Park Museum and in addition to the vehicle display, the museum will be holding a Machinery and Market Day, including artisan market stalls, entertainment and food/coffee vendors also on site. A reduced entry fee will apply to locals for the event.
Griffith Mayor, Councillor Doug Curran will officially open the Griffith National Veteran Vehicle Tour followed by afternoon tea sponsored by Council.
"It's going to be great to have the National Veteran Vehicle Tour in Griffith. We are fortunate that they have chosen our City this year," Councillor Curran said.
"I look forward to seeing the amazing vehicles and welcoming all of the participants.
"Many levels of Council have been working with the organisation for many months and it's great to see all of that hard work coming to fruition."
A prime opportunity for locals to view the vehicles will be on Thursday 5 October 2023 when the Tour will spend the day in and around Griffith before meeting at the Tourism Hub Car Park at 5.30pm for the Gaslight Parade commencing at 7.15pm.
The Parade is expected to be a sight to behold, as the cars move along Banna Avenue, with their original acetylene gas lights casting a glow along the street.
