Antique Truck and Machinery Show

This community event provides a detailed look at regional industrial history through an extensive collection of vehicles. In recent iterations, the show has featured more than 60 different vehicles brought in from across Vancouver Island, including antique heavy equipment and contemporary trucks. The exhibition typically runs on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In addition to the main machinery displays, the event includes various family-oriented activities such as a sand pile with toy trucks, a bouncy tent, and interactive games for children like water-based target shooting. Visitors can find food available on-site and purchase commemorative merchandise, including t-shirts and artistic prints. The host society often organizes prize draws featuring gift certificates and items donated by local businesses.

The show is located at the Industrial Heritage Centre at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and Dunbar Street. While some records indicate access is available via 10th Avenue, the venue serves as the primary hub for the society's collection of steam tractors, logging models, and vintage rail cars.
