Start your engines for a weekend of family fun

THE Geelong Revival Motoring Festival roars back to Geelong’s picturesque waterfront this November, promising a vibrant celebration of classic cars, vintage fashion and heart-stopping racing action.

Attracting more than 50,000 visitors annually, this iconic event offers a weekend of entertainment beyond the track.

Taking place over the weekend, Friday, November 28 to Sunday, November 30, this event is popular with both motoring enthusiasts and families. With most of the festival free, it’s the ideal weekend outing for all ages. Whether you’re racing, displaying a vehicle, dressing up for the fashion parade, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.

Highlights include:

Revival Fashion Awards: Take a step back in time at this stylish celebration which showcases the best of bygone fashion. Entrants compete in various categories – including a children’s category – for the coveted title of best in show.

Quarter Mile Sprints: Based on the historic Brighton Speed Trials, the Quarter Mile Sprints is the jewel in Geelong Revival’s crown. The iconic curved track along Geelong’s Ritchie Boulevard is home to two days of full throttle racing action, featuring everything from Model Ts to McLarens.

Shannon’s Classic Motorshow: Wander through the ages as more than 500 vehicles line Geelong’s waterfront. Admire the Motorcycle Mecca display, Model Ts, Maseratis and everything in-between.

Family friendly fun that’s free: From slot car racing and giant games to carnival rides and fashion parades, families can enjoy two full days of free entertainment. To catch the racing action, pack a picnic and find a place on The Hill, which provides the ideal vantage point to watch the historic Quarter Mile Sprints.

Evening entertainment: As the sun goes down, the action continues along the waterfront, with many of Geelong’s most popular eateries and drinking venues, such as Sailors Rest and Edge Geelong, offering live music late into the night.

Those wanting to get closer to the action can purchase a Pit Pass, which offers all-day access to the Pit Area, unrestricted viewing along the quarter mile track and the chance to chat with crews about their awe-inspiring machines. Children under 14 years enter free with a paying adult.
