Shepparton's Ultimate Horsepower Festival Returns!

Get ready for three massive days of tyre smoke, horsepower, show cars, and adrenaline-pumping action as Springnats roars back into the Shepparton Showgrounds from 27-29 November 2026.

Whether you're into elite show cars, wild burnout machines, cruising or high-energy driving events, Springnats delivers one of Australia's most iconic automotive festival experiences and 2026 is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.

A Legacy of Car Culture

For more than 30 years, Springnats has been at the heart of the Aussie car scene. What began as a humble Show & Shine event outside the Peppermill Hotel has grown into a full-throttle celebration of custom builds, burnout beasts, and high-octane fun.

From seasoned enthusiasts to first-timers and families, Springnats welcomes everyone who shares a love for cars, motorsport, and the atmosphere that makes this event so unique.
