After four exceptional shows, each setting new records, Wheels at Wānaka made its final bow over Easter Weekend. Whether your thing was two wheels, four, eight, tracks or rollers, the show became a pilgrimage for the vehicle and machine faithful – local and global. The 2025 show was a case of ‘all good things’ in every meaning of the phrase.

Someone asked me if the Tui Truck Stop Show and Shine would get rescheduled in the event of rain and I said I had no idea – a rainy Tui Truck Stop hasn’t happened yet! Sunday 30 March was no exception, with another stunning day and the biggest lineup of trucks in the event’s history.

The 2025 TMC Trailers Trucking Industry Show returned to the Canterbury Agricultural Park on 7 and 8 March.

An event that was all about the kids – Nelson’s Kids n Rigs held in February this year brought industry together with those who will drive tomorrow forward, putting on a show that would embed itself in the hearts and minds of families who turned up in droves.

The 2025 Kamo Touch a Truck event was another outstanding event, bringing community together and raising funds for the Kamo and Ngunguru fire brigades.

Though overall numbers were slightly down on last year, the 2025 Dunedin Truck Show was another successful event.
