Classic Cars, Hot Rods and Heritage Vehicles
Born in 2011 through the Waiuku Business & Development Association and local car clubs, Steel ’n’ Wheels quickly became a flagship celebration of Waiuku’s character.
Rooted in the town’s connection to New Zealand Steel – an industry central to Waiuku’s growth and identity – the event celebrates strength, craft, and community.
What started as a showcase of classic cars, tractors, and hot-rods has grown into a festival drawing tens of thousands each April, blending roaring engines with live music, markets, stunt shows, and family fun.
Steel ’n’ Wheels reflects Waiuku itself: forged by steel, fuelled by community spirit.
