FOLLOWING a successful debut last year, the Melbourne to Move (M2M) rally will return Saturday, April 20, ending with the Finish Line Festival at Shepparton’s Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE).
Showcasing a range of vehicles from classic cars to vintage buses, the rally and festival promise food, entertainment and automotive appreciation for enthusiasts and community members alike. Priced at $20 per ticket, the festival, starting at 4pm, includes museum access, live music, and a gourmet barbecue by The Woolshed @ Emerald Bank.
MOVE board director Adam Katsoutas expressed excitement for the event, emphasising its role in bringing families and enthusiasts together while supporting the museum’s mission.
“As an independent, not for profit entity, MOVE relies on events like Melbourne to MOVE to raise funds and awareness of our museum,” Mr Katsoutas said, adding, “The event will show an impressive lineup of vehicles and support our mission to celebrate and preserve automotive history.”
The rally kicks off with breakfast at the CMV Truck and Bus dealership in Derrimut, followed by a scenic drive through Victoria’s countryside with stops in Tooborac and Toolamba for lunch before reaching MOVE.
City of Greater Shepparton mayor, Cr Shane Sali, hailed the rally as a significant attraction for the region, praising MOVE for its depiction of transport industry history. He said, “We are extremely fortunate to have such an impressive museum like MOVE in our region’s backyard.”
Tickets for the rally are $180 for car and driver, with $40 for additional passengers. Those unable to join the rally can still enjoy the Finish Line Festival. Attendees are encouraged to explore Greater Shepparton’s attractions and accommodations. Visit the event’s Humanitix page for tickets and more information.
