Second birthday for monthly gathering

HEATHCOTE Cars, Coffee and Bikes will celebrate its second birthday this Sunday.

The monthly event for car, coffee and bike enthusiasts was the inspiration of Kylie Ryan who thought it would be good for Heathcote.

“This Sunday marks two years since I began running Heathcote Cars, Coffee and Bikes,” said Ms Ryan.

“What started as a simple idea to bring people together after COVID, while supporting our local businesses, has grown into something truly special.

“I still get excited seeing these beautiful vehicles and bikes coming into town.”

Ms Ryan said the event has continued to grow each month with both locals and visitors from further afield attending.

She believes the event is good for local businesses and for the social connections it fosters.

“As a strong advocate for mental health, I’ve seen firsthand how valuable this ongoing, free and family-friendly local event has been,” she said.

“It brings people from near and far together to connect, share their passion, and feel part of a welcoming community.

“I’m incredibly grateful to every single person who has supported this journey.

“I thank everyone for the stories shared, the friendships formed, and the sense of community they continue to help create.

“Heathcote Cars, Coffee and Bikes is proudly sponsored by Heathcote Wellness Centre.

“I look forward to seeing as many people as possible this Sunday for our second birthday.”

Heathcote Cars, Coffee and Bikes is held on the second Sunday of each month from 9am to 12pm.

Classic cars, bikes and spectators are always welcome.
