Its been 6 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!) on MULTIPLE Floors of the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Multideck car park!
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 multiple 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 6years! Don’t miss it!

“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
