What it is

The Howick Village Hop takes over Picton Street for a free spring street party with a retro twist. Classic cars and hot rods line the street, rock'n'roll dancing gets the whole family moving, and spot prizes keep things lively throughout the day.

Food stalls keep everyone fuelled while the Howick Village Market gives browsers plenty to explore. It is the kind of neighbourhood event where kids gravitate towards the gleaming bonnets and parents linger a little longer than planned.
