The fun, atmosphere and excitement of RACQ MotorFest returns to the iconic Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday 14th June 2026. This much-loved annual event is a vibrant celebration of all things motoring, past, present and future, and this year it’s bigger than ever with more cars, more food, more kids’ entertainment and more exhibitors than before.

Running from 10am to 3pm, RACQ MotorFest offers a full day of entertainment for the whole family. Visitors can explore an incredible array of prestige, vintage, unique and collector vehicles, alongside the latest in vehicle and transport technology in the RACQ Future Zone.

There’s plenty beyond the car displays too. Roving entertainment, amusement rides and face painting are all included with entry, plus RACQ and partner trade stalls packed with competitions and giveaways.

The majority of MotorFest is set on bitumen, making it easily accessible by wheelchair. The oval area, which is grass and dirt, is the main exception.
