What started off as a couple of local chaps proudly parking their pride and joy vintage bus & car at the Broke Store over 30 years ago, has now evolved into a massive annual event on the Broke calendar.
Over 5,000 people make the day trip to Broke's McNamara Park to enjoy good 'ole fashion friendliness & warmth amongst the gum trees. The Broke Fair & Vintage Car Display has an action packed lineup of entertainment, displays, market stalls, food & wine to keep the punters entertained.
The kids will love the rides, magic shows, petting zoo, Tassie devil babies, face painting & camel rides while mum and dad enjoy the festival atmosphere. Over 60 market stalls, live music, karate & sword craft demonstrations, whip cracking, bush poetry, rocker cover car racing and so much more throughout the day.
Take your time to explore over 300 vintage, veteran and classic cars, trucks and motorcycles, and check out the lovingly restored vintage farm machinery from the good folk at the Hunter Valley Vintage Farm Machinery.
We have some master artisans, keen to share their passion & skill with you. From blade smiths, jewelers, chainsaw sculptors, whip cracking legend and magic maestro to bread & cheese makers, salami producers, chefs and dairy farmers.
Free mine tours to Bulga Open Cut mine will leave at 10am, 11.30am and 1.30pm.
