Wintertime Snow & Shine!
Horsepower Crew
Australia’s Biggest Winter Themed Automotive Festival is back after 5 long years!
Wintertime Snow & Shine Countdown!
- Adelaide Showgrounds
- May 24th 2025
- 12:00 PM
Its been 5 years since Adelaide’s most popular Wintertime Automotive indoor Show, 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 and Free entertainment for all ages!
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!
Car display - Expression of interest is open!
Whilst we have over 9500 sqm of indoor+undercover space at Adelaide Showgrounds, we are expecting high demand after 5 years!
We want 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
Is my ride suitable?
We are a fairly collaborative & engaging bunch here at Horsepower Crew! It’s likely you are your own worst critic of your car/Bike, so check these out that our community entered into previous events to get a feel for what gets entered! You’d be surprised! Remember THIS IS NOT A TROPHY EVENT – It’s not about competition, it’s about Community Connection!
Still need help to see if your ride is ok to enter as an EOI? Here’s a couple ways to send us a pic & a message! (Tip: Facebook is faster!)

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
