Retro Hit Radio, is proud to support The Retro Event!


The Retro Event is a huge step into a time capsule with New Zealand’s biggest family-friendly 80s/90s event.

Experience the iconic DeLorean, just like the one immortalized in “Back to the Future” as well as a 1979 Ferrari 308 as seen in Magnum PI, a Trans-AM stylised as ‘KITT” made famous in the TV series Knight Rider, plus other surprise feature cars!

The event attracts over 300 vendors, selling classic toys and games straight out of your beloved flicks. From E.T.‘s charm to Terminator toughness, there is something for everyone.

We deep dive into the nostalgia with activities like the cosplay competition, beyblade championships and raffles and random vendor happy hours! It’s not just an event; it’s a real-life experience!

  • Arcade machines with classic games
  • Cosplay contests
  • Food trucks
  • Dungeons and dragon games
  • Game demonstrations and competitions
  • Cars seen in movies and TV shows
  • Epic 80s/90s music and soundtrack songs, including Retro Hit Radio rocking the event!
  • Over 300 vendors with tons of retro goodies, think of atari, ps1, ps2, masters of the universe, vintage star wars, g1 transformers, star trek, ghostbusters, aliens, predator, Gi Joe, and more!

Also come find one of the Retro Hit Radio crew to score one of our exclusive car stickers!
