Motoring enthusiasts, music lovers, and families are in for a treat as the Pirates Hockey Club in Mill Park prepares to host an action-packed Car Show and Music Festival on Saturday.
The event will be held in conjunction with Loop Doppie Events and Motor Mouth, in support of two worthy causes, Cat Care and Save-a-Pet.
The popular sports club, in Westview Drive, will transform into a vibrant hub of chrome, horsepower and entertainment as the gates open at 10am, with the event running until 4pm.
Visitors can expect an impressive showcase of machines from across the motoring spectrum.
Everything from gleaming modern dealership models to lovingly restored classic and vintage cars will line the grounds, while serious motorsport machinery and the eye-catching Knights of the Third Wheel trikes promise to add plenty of spectacle.
Petrolheads will have the chance to get up close to some truly special vehicles, chat with the owners and soak up the atmosphere of a full-scale automotive celebration.

Adding to the festival vibe will be a range of carefully selected vendors and food trucks offering a variety of food. Families will be well catered for, with a secure kiddie’s entertainment area. There will also be a beer tent for adults.
One of the highlights for motorsport fans will be the presence of several race cars and rally cars on display, including the spectacular VW SuperPolo of Ian Riddle, a machine well known to Eastern Cape racing fans for its blistering pace at the Aldo Scribante Raceway.
