Organisers of the popular Wheels at Wanaka event say the fourth event will be its last and is on track to be the biggest and best yet

Held in 2019, 2021, and 2023, organisers of the popular Wheels at Wanaka event say the fourth event will be its last and is on track to be the biggest and best yet.

Tickets are now on sale for the Easter 2025 show, which will feature a celebration of 100 years of Caterpillar and new interactive attractions, with further additions to be released in the coming months.

Organisers also say the grand finale will be a fitting occasion to fondly farewell an event that has captivated vehicle enthusiasts from across the country and around the world.

Wheels at Wanaka has grown to become a biennial migration that celebrates New Zealand’s automotive, agricultural, and construction history and the craftsmanship that goes into creating and maintaining the mechanical masterpieces.

"Wheels at Wanaka 2025 will be the fourth and last show," says event general manager Allan Dippie. "Anyone who loves machines, cars, tractors — anything and everything with wheels or tracks really — would be mad to miss it."

Organisers expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from partners, participants, exhibitors, and the community, acknowledging the event’s financial contributions to many local and national charitable causes.

2025’s sponsors and charities of choice will be announced in the coming months.
