Classic cars, rock & roll, and a whole lot of Riverland charm
If you love the roar of classic engines, the swingin’ steps of rock & roll, and a weekend soaking up the best of the River Murray, the Swan Reach Classic Auto River Run is calling your name!
After an epic return in 2024, this celebration of classic cars, motorbikes, and trucks is back on Sunday, April 6 – bigger and better than ever. With record-breaking interest already, it’s shaping up to be the biggest one yet.
A weekend of classics and competition
For entrants, the action kicks off a day early. A Poker Run on the Saturday includes a relaxed road trip cruising through Blanchetown, Sedan, Walkers Flat, and Swan Reach, collecting playing cards at each stop. With no set route, it’s all about soaking in the sights and enjoying classic Riverland hospitality, with the winning hand scoring a $1000 Auto Pro voucher!
Sunday’s main event will see Swan Reach transform into a car lover’s paradise, with a stunning display of classic cars, hot rods, motorcycles, and trucks. Whether you’re into American muscle, European elegance, or Aussie icons, there’s something for every car buff. Trophies are up for grabs, too, in categories like Best Classic, Best Hot Rod, and Best Motorcycle.
Full-throttle fun for the whole family
But it’s not just about gleaming automobiles – this full-throttle festival is packed with entertainment for all ages. Soak up the atmosphere and rock around the clock with live hits from the ‘50s to the ‘80s. The kids are in for a treat too, with a magician and face painter to keep them entertained. And of course, no event is complete without a great line up of food and drinks. A licensed bar, coffee vendors, and a variety of food stalls will be on hand to keep everyone fuelled for a full day of fun.
With so much to see and do, why not turn it into a weekend getaway? Book a stay in the glorious Riverland, with options ranging from luxury stays at Gateway to the Galaxy Holiday Units to classic country charm at Swan Reach Hotel, Sedan Hotel, and Punyelroo Caravan Park.
