Sakura Picnic
Sakura Picnic is back on Sunday the 3rd of May 2026, so polish up those JDM or Asian vehicles ready for a big celebration. We are back at Bundoora Park, opening the gates for owners of vehicles from all Asian manufacturers to display their pride and joy, make new friends, and enjoy a relaxed day under the trees.
We started Sakura Picnic in 2016 to unite Melbourne's Japanese car clubs with a show that had no egos or awards - just the true Japanese ethos of showing appreciation for everyone's individual tastes. Since 2023, we felt it was right to expand this concept to the entire Asian region, welcoming passionate owners with vehicles from Hyundai, Kia & Proton to name just a few.
Be sure to mark Sunday the 3rd of May 2026 in your calendars and purchase your ticket to display your car now!
Display vehicle entry is $25.00 per car or motorbike.
