This show is a local tradition, and a must see for not only the truck lovers, but anyone seeking a fun family outing.
So, what can you expect at this year’s show?
Well for starters, at least 300 mighty machines will be rolling in, showcasing everything from the latest, high-tech rigs, to some of the best hot rods you’ve laid eyes on.
Skilled craftsmen will be showing off their artistry with a wood chop competition, a major auction will give you the chance to take home some goodies and you can let your hair down to some live music.
But let’s not forget the kids — there will be showbags galore, keeping the young ones entertained while you soak in the sights of towering trucks and hot rods.
Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds will also be joining the lineup, offering a mix of mental health and physical wellbeing advice for crowds to soak in.
Event organiser Gordon Simpson is quick to highlight the event’s accessibility.
“It’s all free. We’ve got everything laid out in the middle of town, there’s no entry free,” he says. “It’s a low cost day for people to come down and have some fun.”
Plus, the day is a fantastic way for the local organisations like shopkeepers and food caterers to raise funds and have a boost to get them through the winter months.
This small town effort to help their community, is what kicked off the start of this annual showcase and why it has since, only grown.
Gordon expects a whopping crowd of around 13,000 to show up on the day, which is understandable as there’s no shortage of things to marvel at.
“Come along and join us. It’s an action packed day and it’s great for the kids,”
he says.
“It’s a fun show. I’d mark the Alexandra Truck Show on your calendar every year.”
So, get ready for a full day of engines, excitement, and some old fashioned community spirit, as it’s going to be one heck of a ride!
The Alexandra Truck Show is on Sunday June 8 2025, held on bitumen in Alexandra’s main street, from
10am until 4pm.
