Toranafest

Toranafest Toranafest has grown over the past few years to nothing short of a Festival of Torana!! We're back baby, Toranafest 2024. HVTC Toranafest Committee

Get the calendar out and mark the dates 14th and 15th of September 2024. Celebrating 30 years of Toranafest, the Hunter valley Torana Club is once again hosting Toranafest in Maitland on the 14th and 15th of September 2024. Toranafest 2019 was absolutely crazy with over 450 Torana’s travelling from all over Australia to be a part of this great event. We are expecting another big one if not the big

gest. Again, we are proudly supporting Ronald McDonald House and Dog Rescue Newcastle. Toranafest 2019 raised $25,000 for these charities. This event is run by volunteers from the Hunter Valley Torana Club. We look forward to seeing you all in September 2024.

Torana fans, it’s time!
We’re excited to unveil the official Toranafest 2026 artwork, and it’s an absolute standout.
Huge thanks to John from House of Muscle for creating this killer design, and while we may be biased, we reckon it’s going to look unreal on the event shirts.

Speaking of shirts, if you want to make sure you get your size, get your entry in early. Once shirt orders are locked in, we can’t guarantee all sizes will be available.

Hello everyone!
My name is Georgia, I am a proud member of the Hunter Valley Torana Club and owner of a beast! I’ve been a part of the Torana community since 2014, over those years ive been taught so much, always felt loved/welcomed and made so many memories with amazing people. These people have become my family.
Lucky for me I grew up around cars, always helping dad in the shed that has now led me to the love of Torana’s. I own a two door LJ that requires a restoration which is moving along slowly. While I tinker with mine, I’m blessed to be able to drive my dad’s second Torana which is pictured below. It’s a balmoral green four door LJ, named Olive. This car and I have made many miles going as far north as the Gold Coast and as far south to Melbourne. The thrill I get from driving it and getting away with so many great people.
As much as I love my four wheels, I love my four-legged animals. Pictured below is my other pride and joy Zora. She has been to many Torana events with me. She brings as much joy as Torana’s do to me. Lucky for us at Toranafest one of our biggest charities is Dog Rescue Newcastle. I have family members that have fostered dogs through this organisation, they are absolutely wonderful!
If you are planning on joining us on the Sunday at the show and shine, if you can please bring dog food or items to donate to this wonderful charity!
Ladies show me your Torana’s!

Hi everyone,

With Toranafest preparations now in full swing, we’re excited to announce a Friday night get‑together at the Bradford Hotel, Rutherford. More details will be shared as we get closer to the date.

A big thanks to the Bradford for coming on board, and also to the Hunter Gateway Motel for their support. We reckon the staff there have earned themselves a spin in a Torana. If anyone’s keen to make that happen, we're sure they'll appreciate it.

We’ve also hit 308 entrants.
To celebrate this iconic number, show us your 308's in the comments!

Toranafest is shaping up fast behind the scenes, a huge thanks to all our sponsors and early entrants for the support. Get your entry now at https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/toranafest-2026-tickets-1982556685415?aff=oddtdtcreator

And a big nod to our Platinum sponsor, Endeavour Marine, now located in Cardiff, NSW. If you’ve got marine needs, they’re the team to see.

But for right now, let’s turn it up to eleven!
We love our clean, original classics… but we want to see the fire breathing monsters.

Show us the stuff out of the bonnet, big wheel, belly scraping, earth shaking weapons you’ve built.
If it snarls, scrapes, whistles, or tries to tear the bitumen off the road, we want to see it. 4, 6, or v8, it doesn't matter.

Drop your pics below with some build details, and let’s fill this feed with the wildest machines in the Torana world.
Let the monsters out.
