New date, new venue for 2026 Blue Oval Show n Shine

After a successful couple of years at its original venue, the Camp Quality Blue Oval Show n Shine is expanding in 2026, with a new location and new date. This year’s edition of the Geelong-based event that’s open to all Ford and Ford-based vehicles will be held at Beckley Park, Corio, on Sunday, 1 March.

Easy to get to, the Beckley Park display space and spectator parking is all-bitumen, so won’t be impacted by inclement conditions. The earlier date should ensure more favourable weather, too.

New date and new venue aside, the 2026 Blue Oval Show n Shine will run to the same formula as the first two editions of this successful event, which saw more than 200 Fords attend last year.

Conducted by the Falcon GT Club Geelong as a fundraiser for Camp Quality, the Blue Oval Show n Shine is open to all Australian, English and US Ford and Ford family (Lincoln, Mercury, Shelby) vehicles, as well as Ford-based hot rods and customs. If it’s a Ford, it’s welcome!

There’ll be trophies for the Top 5 Fords on the day, with a raffle providing great prizes from local businesses. A BBQ, coffee, cold drinks and ice cream will also be available.

All proceeds go to Camp Quality, from display car and spectator entry to the raffle and BBQ, which is conducted by Camp Quality volunteers. Last year’s Blue Oval Show n Shine raised more than $4,400 for this important charity.

To be a part of the 2026 Camp Quality Blue Oval Show n Shine, get your Ford to Beckley Park on Sunday, 1 March. No pre-entry is required. Simply bring your Ford down on the day - gates open for display cars from 8:00AM, with spectator entry from 9:30AM.

Display car entry is $15 per vehicle (no passenger limit), with spectator entry by gold coin donation. The raffle draw and Top 5 trophy presentations will be held at approximately 12:30PM, with the event wrapping up at 2:00PM.
