We could write a whole bunch of words describing what the Goanna Run is all about, but we’ve gone one better and want to ‘show’ you exactly what it is. Enjoy.
The Goanna Run is a much-loved annual event proudly hosted by the Desert City Rodders in Mildura, Victoria, celebrating the vibrant spirit of custom car culture. Each year, we welcome street rodders, car enthusiasts, families, and visitors from across the country for a weekend filled with chrome, character, and community.
The event showcases a spectacular lineup of hot rods, classic cars, and custom vehicles, drawing admiration from car clubs and collectors nationwide. The weekend program includes scenic cruises along the Murray, exclusive entrant events, the lively Saturday night Feast Street, a Rock ‘n’ Roll and Fashion Parade, and the ever-popular Show ‘n’ Shine at Nowingi Place—a standout attraction for both locals and tourists.
With live music, market stalls, children’s entertainment, food trucks, and event merchandise, the Goanna Run offers something for everyone. More than just a car show, it’s a fun-filled weekend and a fantastic opportunity to explore the best of Mildura’s hospitality and riverfront charm.
Whether you’re showcasing your pride and joy or simply enjoying the spectacle, the Goanna Run is a vibrant celebration of community, creativity, and a shared passion for all things automotive.
