WHAT'S ON
Held over two days in the beautiful parkland surrounding Thoroughbred Park with over 200 of the world’s most exotic road and race cars, the Canberra Festival of Speed is motorsport's ultimate garden party.
Get closer to the action than any other event, with your automotive heroes blasting around the purpose-built exhibition circuit on Saturday night under lights, and then on Sunday throughout the day.
From open-wheel race cars, exotic historic racers, to classic Australian touring cars, over 100 exotic supercars usually seen as posters on bedroom walls, plus a few special machines you simply won't find anywhere else, the whole family will find something exciting at the Canberra Festival of Speed.
And then when the excitement is too much, you can ​engage with our interactive trade stalls and satisfy your tastebuds at the ​European food village.
