Australia’s Biggest Winter Themed Automotive Festival is back after 5 long years!
Wintertime Snow & Shine Countdown!
- Adelaide Showground
- May 24th 2025
- 12:00 PM
Its been 5 years since Australia’s Biggest Wintertime Automotive indoor festival, so the countdown is on for its return!
What to expect!
If you haven’t been to a Horsepower Crew Wintertime Snow & Shine Festival before, you are in for a indoor & undercover family friendly treat!
Instead of a “All Holden Day” or “All Japanese Day”, we unite the wide range of our communities rides in colour themes!
Think Winter Blues, Snow White, Dark Night (Black), Cloudy Grey (+Silver Lining), Green! (Grass) and all the colours of the Fireplace! (Red, Yellow, Maroon, Browns!)
Between all the colour themes.. You’ll never know what you will see next, it could be a JDM icon like a Skyline GT-R, a Monaro Monster Burnout Car, could be a sleek Exotic like a Ferrari, a Veteran/Vintage Hot Rod; or anything in between!
In addition, there will be both national and SA small businesses amongst all the cars on display to connect with and support! As well as Free kids under 5 entry, Free entertainment for all ages, and 3 charitable causes that we are supporting in different ways!
It’s really a unreal automotive community experience that has become a South Aussie best kept secret, back after 5 years! Don’t miss it!

OUTLAW SPEED SHOP EXIT FINALE!
At Horsepower Crew, we’ve been not only doing our own shows/festivals over 9 years at multiple locations, but our team of 32 Volunteers also go out to many Car Events in SA, interstate & overseas to not only enjoy, but also learn how the experiences & above all, the safety of our community can result in incredible memories.
We’ve seen that some casual events don’t have any control over the ending experience of a great gathering. Then others who have control over exit, may make it much later & not the finale that a community really desires-to enjoy seeing the rides in motion, the sights, the smells & sounds that make oil pump through our veins!!
We’re proud to announce the Outlaw Speed Shop Exit Finale! 
This will be held in the Atrium of the Adelaide Showgrounds at approximately 8pm at the End of @Wintertime Snow & Shine! 2025 festival on Sat 25th May.
Every one of the rides from the display inside the Wayville Pavilion will have the opportunity to Exit through the crowd in a safe manner & be able to make thier trip home or back to pack up.
The photography & videography of this in such a photogenic scenery, whilst still undercover from any elements, is something that we’ve even never seen! Yet these pictures from our Media when we did have 2 previous Monster Truck events there, gives you just a tiny little taste of what it’s going to be like!
This experience for everyone to enjoy safely, couldn’t have been achieved without the major support from Outlaw Speed Shop, and many others including Adelaide Showgrounds, South Australia Police, SA Infrastructure & Transport, City of Unley and our friends at Flo Traffic Services!

Car display - Expression of interest is closing soon!
Whilst we have over 9500 sqm of indoor+undercover space at Adelaide Showgrounds, we have had high demand after 5 years!
We wanted to handle expected demand fairly for our community; so we have released a period of Expressions of Interest (EOI). And the criteria is NOT what you think! This is a NO TROPHY show, because it’s about Community, not Competitiveness!
Want to know what criteria are important instead? Simply enter your EOI at the red button below, and you’ll know!
If your car is not selected for display at the event, you will receive a Early Bird spectator ticket to enjoy the event! (Same price, not out of pocket, No brainer!)
Simply the quicker you get your EOI in, the better chance you have at being accepted! And you will also be added to a cancellation list, so you may still get accepted closer to the event too!
So if you have a ride you could bring & looking at this page now (Late March & into April), you’d be better off putting in an EOI, instead of buying a spectator ticket, as a spectator ticket gives you ZERO chance of getting in on the EOI list! Just give it a GO! You will love our new process!
- Indoor or Undercover car display
- Over $150 in gifts from Sponsors!
- Driver Ticket

What do Our Community Say?
Business Development Officer – Shannons Insurance
“The event ran so smoothly and was well organised from the beginning. The team was so accommodating and responsive. Would do it again the future.”
Director, Zenbyte.
“It is with great respect that our partnership with Horsepower Crew has helped us raise thousands of dollars for Variety, the Children’s Charity. The committee has allowed us to cater sausage sizzles at their events and put the spotlight on the Variety Bash, and our team. Thank you to James and his entire team for your support, friendship, professionalism and commitment to your organisation. Money we raise helps South Australian Children live, grow and strive while being sick, disabled and disadvantaged
Team Captain, SA Variety Bash Team Avengers
