What is this event?
Celebration of the Motorcar is an annual event that helps raise much-needed funds, so Wheels for Hope can continue helping WA families of children with disability.
As Event Director Paul Blank describes it: “It’s a privilege to gather such an amazing collection of cars of all ages – Perth’s crème de la crème – together for this event which supports a worthy charity that provides specially adapted vehicles for families with special needs children.”
Celebration of the Motorcar is Perth’s premiere classic, prestige and supercar exhibition: you can expect some 120 cars on display, including rare models. A string quartet will add to the atmosphere and refreshments are available on site.
When is it on?

How do I get tickets?
Easy. The show is open from 10.30AM to 3.30PM, and you can buy tickets there – though we’d recommend buying ahead of time via the trybooking page to avoid missing out. This is a family-friendly event, so bring the kids!
