Caroline Bay Rock & Hop: 19th - 22nd March, 2026

The Caroline Bay Rock and Hop has become a signature event for South Canterbury, attracting thousands over four vibrant days. Enthusiasts showcase their vehicles, enjoy rock and roll music, and celebrate—all in support of Hospice South Canterbury.

Don't miss the Bowden's Own Main Street's Cruise on Friday Night, 20th March

 Saturday is the HUGE Gala Day Show & Shine at the Hop, attracting more than 1000 cars and around 10,000 people. Cars, caravans and motorbikes will all be on display on the grass and the park will be pumping!

There's also a Show & Shine Car Competition Winners Parade where you’ll see the best of the best in each category. Bowden's Own will be supporting each trophy with a great prize pack.

We’ll be there with Repco all day so come by and say Hi!
