Get ready for an exhilarating Friday Night Cruise
A signature highlight of Americarna, the Night Cruise lights up the city!
From 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm, cars set off from Mangorei Road and roll into the city centre, creating a dazzling parade of chrome, lights, and roaring engines. This spectacular event always draws big crowds, so pick your spot early and enjoy the magic.
Safety is our top priority. Please follow directions from our marshals, remain on the footpaths, and keep children well clear of the road.
A liquor ban will be in place throughout the CBD. Together, we can keep the event safe and enjoyable for all.
Don’t miss this electrifying event!
