The two-yearly, three-day event takes place on a site of more than 20ha.

One of this year's drawcards was a massive Cat 789 dump truck, brought to the show by mining company OceanaGold.

Other parts of the festivities included motocross competitions, earth-moving displays, food stalls and live music.

A large section of the grounds was dedicated to displaying the vehicles of proud owners who had travelled from across the country to be among like-minded individuals.

In 2021, the weekend attracted 25,000 people.

Media and promotions manager Annabel Roy said the weekend's crowd had the potential to be their biggest.

Wheels at Wānaka is expected to return in 2025.
