Casino Truck Show – Saturday 3 August 2024

Less than 100 days until one of the biggest truck shows in the southern hemisphere gets underway and the excitement is building.

Now an unmissable highlight on the calendar of truck enthusiasts across the nation, the 2024 North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show will be held in the Casino CBD on Saturday 3 August and promises to be an inspiring showcase of innovation, performance and community.

Richmond Valley Council’s Acting General Manager Angela Jones said last year’s Casino Truck Show was the biggest yet with more than 600 trucks on display and an estimated 14,000 people attending.

Ms Jones said with the expectation of a similar size event this year, intensive re-mapping of the Casino CBD had been undertaken to ensure all attendees would fit comfortably.

She said the Casino Truck Show was not just a celebration of trucks; it was a celebration of the pride, passion and dedication shown by the men and women of the transport industry as a whole.

“As we countdown the final 100 days until the event, we invite enthusiasts and industry professionals alike to join us in the Richmond Valley for an unforgettable experience which showcases the best of what the trucking world has to offer,” Ms Jones said.

“As we prepare to welcome attendees and trucks from across the nation, we would like to express our appreciation for the unwavering support and collaboration of the Truck Show’s sponsors.

“We look forward to celebrating the success of this year’s event and to continuing our partnerships in the future.”
