About This Event

Founded in 2008 as a community-based alternative to commercial car shows — no prizes, no roped-off areas, free spectator entry with gold coin donations to charity. Over 500 Japanese-market vehicles spread across Wigley and Colley Reserves on Glenelg's waterfront, from naturally-aspirated hot hatches to turbocharged drift builds and classic JDM machinery. The 2026 edition marks the final year after eighteen continuous seasons.

Is This Event Right For You?

Best fit if you enjoy grassroots car culture — 18-year community car show with no prizes, no roped-off areas, no entry barriers, $30 exhibitor registration supports Ruby Tuesday Foundation, spectators free with gold coin donation.
Best fit if you value JDM gatherings — 500+ Japanese vehicles from across Australia including classics, 4WDs, motorbikes, relaxed static display format across Wigley and Colley Reserves' coastal parkland setting near Adelaide.
Best fit if you like beachside festival atmosphere — Glenelg coastal reserve location with marina views, family-friendly environment including dogs welcome, 7am-3pm Sunday format combines car viewing with seaside suburb strolling.
Not ideal if you prefer ongoing event series — 2026 edition marks final event after volunteer committee cites workload and costs, no future editions planned, represents conclusion rather than continuing tradition.
