Family-Friendly Entertainment at the Truck Show
The 37th annual Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show is on over the weekend of Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November, with the trucking industry gathering at the Campbells Creek Recreation Reserve.
This is not a tame regional copy of a big show — our Truck of the Show last year took out the Champion of Champions recently in competition with winning trucks from shows around the nation.
This year we have a Volvo FM Electric prime mover at the show, with some lucky truckies able to test drive this example of the future of the trucking industry, so spectators will get to see — and hear — the Electric truck in action.
Wandering amongst over 250 glistening, gleaming, chromed big rigs is only part of the fun . Our live country music program, a range of food and refreshment options, free kids rides and activities and undercover seating mean this is an affordable and family-friendly day out.
Children under 16 are admitted FREE.
Well-known media personality and Coodabeen Champion, Greg Champion and award-winning country singer songwriter Sandee Facy head our live music lineup.
The Cycling Without Age trishaw will also be available for the foot-weary to take a leisurely turn around the grounds to check out the sights.
Cast your vote for your favourite truck in the People’s Choice Award at the Castlemaine Toyota stand.
Gates open 12 midday on Saturday 29 November and at 10.00am on Sunday 30 November. A crowd favourite is the traditional 9.00am Sunday morning convoy through Castlemaine to the Campbell’s Creek Recreation Reserve.
All proceeds raised go to support Castlemaine Rotary’s community projects and youth scholarships.
