Start your engines, Bacchus Marsh

Get set for engines to roar and propellers to spin as Bacchus Marsh Wings, Wheels, and Coffee returns for 2026, promising a high-octane day where horsepower meets skypower.

Taking off on Sunday 1 February, the much-loved and jam-packed event will run from 9am to 4pm at the Bacchus Marsh Airfield on Cummings Road, Parwan, transforming the tarmac into a playground for motoring and aviation fans alike.

This open event welcomes all motorsport enthusiasts, showcasing an impressive mix of classic and modern cars, bikes and aircraft.

Whether you prefer your machines hugging the road or dancing through the clouds, there’s plenty to keep you grounded in excitement, and occasionally looking straight up.

One of the biggest drawcards is the aerobatic and classic aircraft flying displays, with some of Australia’s top pilots set to put on a show that’s sure to be plane awesome. On the ground, car builders and enthusiasts will roll in with machines polished to perfection, offering spectators plenty of chrome, curves and craftsmanship to admire.

It’s not just for rev-heads and aviation tragics. The family-friendly day promises food trucks, activities for kids, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to park yourself for hours.

All car and aviation clubs are welcome, with a simple invitation: drive in or fly in.

Entry is $15 per vehicle or aircraft, and every dollar goes toward supporting local community and health charities, including the Royal Children’s Hospital, Blue Light Disco, Barista Blue, and local sporting clubs.

So grab a coffee, fasten your seatbelt, and get ready for a day that’s set to soar above the rest.
