Wheels at Wanaka 2023 - Tractor Drivers Club

Wheels at Wanaka is proudly presented by Three Parks, Wanaka. A biennial event, alternating every odd Easter with Warbirds Over Wanaka International Air Show. Wheels at Wanaka is an ALL vehicle, ALL machinery “history-in-motion” vintage fair - including steam engines, tractors & farming heritage, cars of all sorts, motorbikes, trucks, earthmovers, and heavy machinery.

Buzzing with energy, Wheels at Wanaka is huge! With over 50 acres of entertainment, with tractor/truck pulling and Enduro-X dirt bike competitions, ATV and electric rally car demos, an earthmoving extravaganza and a non-stop parade ground program! If it's got wheels or tracks, it will be on show it this Easter.

If you would like to drive a tractor in the parades but you don't have your own tractor on show, then you can register here to become a member of the Tractor Drivers Club for a Membership fee of $20.
