Australian Truck Show Calendar 2026–2027

A growing calendar of truck shows, convoys, musters and heritage rallies verified across Australia—with dates checked against organisers wherever possible, rather than copied blindly from another list. If an event isn't confirmed, we say so rather than guessing.

Last checked: 3 September 2026. Dates change and events get cancelled — always confirm with the organiser before you load up and drive.

Getting your truck show-ready?

Start with the Polishing Starter Kit: three 10″ airway wheels, Menzerna cutting and finishing bars, safety flange and rake, matched and ready to run. Already set up? The 6″ Tight-Area Polishing Kit gets into brackets, steps and tank fittings. Guides: How to polish a bullbar · How to polish a fuel tank
