Get ready to rev your engines and rock around the clock in Howick Village on Saturday, 11 October 2025, from 9.00am to 2.30pm. Picton Street will be buzzing as it transforms into a celebration of chrome, culture, and community!
This year’s Star Insure Howick Village HOP promises something for everyone – a show-stopping display of hot rods and classic cars, live rock and roll music, street entertainment, trade stalls, local art, delicious food vendors, and of course, our iconic Saturday village market.
We’re proud to have the continued support of Star Insure and Mother’s Polishes, and thrilled to unveil some exciting new additions for 2025 – including the spectacular Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth rig, vintage caravans, and even a vintage boat on display!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
