The Tui Truck Stop Show and Shine is scheduled to make its return to Mangatainoka on Sunday 27 March 2022.

This annual truck show is a highlight on the New Zealand trucking calendar, where trucks from all over the country descend on Tui Brewery for a great day out – providing a display of big rigs for drivers, owners, truck lovers and families.

Previous events have seen up to 150 trucks displayed at the brewery. Trucks from as far away as Pukekohe, Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki and Christchurch have attended previous shows.

“We’re thrilled to be kicking off our 2022 Toki Motors events with the Tui Truck Stop Show & Shine,” said event organiser Kate Steminger.

“This is by far our biggest Toki Motors event year on year and a great day of celebration for the trucking community. The truck owners and drivers put so much effort into shining up their vehicles, taking time off the road to come to Tui Brewery and really make a day of it,” she said.

“This event just gets better and better every year.”

The event includes live music and activities, brewery tours, food and refreshments. It is free to attend and visitors are required to show their My Vaccine Pass.

Truck enthusiasts can register their rigs for just $10 through the Tui website. Tui Brewery will put all proceeds from registrations towards the show’s regular beneficiary, the Mangatainoka Reserve Restoration Project, for ongoing work such as native planting, fencing and pathways.

The Toki Motors schedule continues on throughout 2022, with a total of nine events. Each show will take place on the last Sunday of the month. The series starts with the Truck Show & Shine in March, and finishes with Vintage Car Day in November.
