The show has grown significantly since its inception, becoming a staple on the region's calendar.
Rotarian Brendan Webb highlighted the event’s evolution, saying, “It’s got bigger and better every year, with more market stalls and more vehicles from all over the country.”
This year’s show will feature a diverse range of vehicles, including vintage, veteran, classic and custom cars, as well as the latest models from local Shepparton car dealers.
In a nod to the future of automotive technology, the event will introduce electric-powered vehicles for the first time.
“We’re trying to blend the old, new and future together,” Mr Webb said, underlining the show’s commitment to embracing automotive innovation.
Admission is $5 per person, with free entry for children under 12.
Vehicle owners wishing to display their prized possessions can enter for $10, which includes admission for the driver.
There will be market stalls to browse, children’s rides — kids can experience the thrill of riding in classic Careful Cobber cars, once used at the region’s driver training complex.
Police officers will be showcasing their vehicles, and there will be a live search and rescue demonstration, including the dismantling of a car.
A swap meet for those searching for rare car parts or memorabilia will have various items available — perfect for the home mechanic or automotive collector.

Whether you’re a car enthusiast or looking for a family-friendly outing, the Shepparton Rotary Motor Show and its associated events provide a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in automotive history and culture.
A major raffle will be held during the event, featuring a high-quality trailer donated by local manufacturer Tip and Go Trailers.
The Rotary motor show’s organisers are grateful to their supporters and sponsors, particularly Total Pest Control, as the event’s major sponsor.
Dennis Muto, another organiser, encouraged local support.
“We’d just like all the Shepparton people to support it because there’s lots of people coming in from various other areas,” he said.
“It would be great to see everyone come along, enjoy themselves for a few hours. That’s the best we can do for Shepparton.”
The Shepparton Rotary Motor Show will take place at the Shepparton Showgrounds, High St, Shepparton, from 8am to 2pm on Sunday, March 23.
