There'll be lots of shiny classic cars to drool over, the Miss Hibiscus Coast Vintage competition and lots more.
The festival is raising funds for the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter who rushed into Rodney 145 times last year to rescue people in need.
You can see where they visited in the map.

Since 1980, 93 people have drowned while trying to save another person. Typically it is the person in trouble that survives, and the would-be rescuer that drowns.
Most of these people would still be alive today if they followed this one piece of advice; only enter the water if you have some form of flotation. You don’t see lifeguards attempting a rescue without equipment.
Providing flotation to a person interrupts the drowning process buying valuable time to either plan how to get the person back to shore, or wait until rescue services arrive.

Residents are encouraged to support St John Ambulance Service by heading down to Bunnings Warehouse Whangarei, between 9am and 4pm, to buy a sausage or make a donation. Team members will be running sausage sizzles with support from local emergency services volunteers, with every cent raised going directly to support St John Whangarei.
St John Northern Region Fundraising and Marketing Manager, Hannah Davies, says, “We are so grateful to the team at Whangarei for supporting our work in the community. Our St John volunteers work tirelessly to help us save lives and change lives, and they couldn’t do it without the generosity and energy of local supporters like Bunnings.
“All funds raised for St John at the Volunteer Fundraiser BBQ will go directly back into helping the local community, and we encourage everyone to show their support by visiting Bunnings and enjoying the sausage sizzle.”
Bunnings Warehouse Whangarei Complex Manager, Alan McGregor, said the New Zealand Volunteer Fundraiser BBQ is a way for the community to show their appreciation for the great work done by local volunteer emergency services around the country.
“The team is really excited to get behind the barbecue to help raise vital funds for our local St John Ambulance Service,” said Alan.
Family activities, fun games and entertainment will also be held throughout the day.
