Whether you’re a vintage car enthusiast, a sucker for nostalgia, or just here for the ‘Grammable moments, this event brings rolling art and roaring engines to the festival scene like no other.

Whether you’re a dedicated petrolhead, a lover of fine craftsmanship, or simply in town to enjoy the southern right whale season, this is an event not to be missed. From old-school convertibles and luxury sedans to muscle cars and motoring rarities, Whales & Wheels celebrates the beauty and heritage of the automobile.
