Calling all Tractor Lovers!
We hope you’re looking forward to the Taupo Bay Tractor Spectacular in what will be the 10th year of fabulous parades.
An important request… the water fights that have evolved as part of the parade are all good fun, but people have been hurt by water bombs and receptacles that have been thrown. Some regulars have told us their kids do not want to take part this year because of this.
Others would rather enjoy the parade without getting soaked.
So please, no throwing water balloons, they hurt and leave plastic rubbish around the bay. Use hoses and super-soakers with discretion – aim at your own friends and family first!
Come along at 5pm on December 30th and let’s all enjoy this now classic community event! Taupo Bay Tractor Spectacular

To celebrate the tenth Tractor Spectacular we've printed sets of postcards of every year's poster - right back to the very first one in 2014. There's a free set for every tractor in this year's event. See you there! 🚜🚜🚜

It's officially summer tomorrow so what better time to announce that the Taupo Bay Tractor Spectacular is back. Same place, same time. Looking forward to seeing all the amazing decorations again this year, but remember decorations are not compulsory. The more tractors the merrier!

It's back for the 11th year. The annual Taupō Bay Tractor Spectacular. The more tractors the merrier. See you there!

Here’s Peter’s great write up and photos in The Advocate, including the official results. Thanks Peter!

Once a year holidaymakers at a Northland beach celebrate their love of the humble tractor.
