And that’s a wrap! Over the last weekend, car and bike enthusiasts immersed themselves in the sights, sounds, and overall electric atmosphere of the All Japanese Car and Bike Show at Epic Park.
Having grown from the first show in 2015 with 130 car entries, the 2018 show exceeded expectations with over 350 cars and bikes entered.
Event Co-Director Al Anonuevo said, “Feedback from the community has been extremely positive! The event exceeded expectations and had a great turn out. We had over 350 car and bike entries, to the point where we went over capacity and had to open up an additional exhibit area.”

The day was a buzz of activity with entertainment for the whole family. Local musicians Kirrah, The Ansah Brothers and Mista Nige performed while the younger car enthusiasts were further entertained by a jumping castle and a colouring competition.

“The performances by Kirrah, The Ansah Brothers and Mista Nige brought a fantastic energy and vibe to the show. Instead of a stage, we purposely had them perform on the ground level with the crowd, enabling more interaction.”
“Another event highlight was our providers giving demonstrations to the audience and having them interact with what goes into modified cars.”
Local business and major sponsor Canberra Motorcycle Centre were on hand showcasing their bikes and judging the ‘People’s Choice’ and ‘Judge’s Choice’ awards in the motorcycle category of the competition.
