Wheels 2025 is being held in conjunction with the Queanbeyan Markets.
Wheels will be located within the Showgrounds Arena, while the Markets are located at the western end of the Showgrounds complex.

The arrangement with the Queanbeyan Markets allows Wheels to focus on automotive exhibits and automotive trade stalls; while the Queanbeyan Markets provides access to craft, jewellery, fashion, homewares and plenty of food & drink stalls; thereby benefiting all who attend for either event.

Be sure to bring the whole family for a great day out.
