Join us for German Auto Day (GAD) 2025! GAD is a one day German automotive display event held each year in the Canberra region and is a collaboration event organised by local German branded marques, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen and other rare marques.

General Entry will be $10, of which $5 goes to charity. We will also be holding the Clubs annual Show 'n' Shine - BMWCCC Members Entry – $20.00 (entry fee goes towards trophies and event costs). NOTE: Show 'n' Shine entries close Wednesday, 25 September to ensure judges have time to prepare.

**Please respond to the invitation so that adequate parking spaces can be secured. If you have registered and are no longer able to attend, please cancel your registration so others can attend**.

BMWCCC members - don’t forget to register for the Show & Shine! It’s a fun and friendly competition, with trophies up for grabs. No need for concours-level prep, just make sure your car is clean and looking its best. 

There will be plenty to do and see for the whole family - Food, coffee and activities to keep the kids entertained!

Day of event

On the day of GAD, entrants can start arriving on site from 8:00am and to be in place before 9:30am on Sunday, 28 September 2025. We suggest getting in early to avoid access chaos.

Location Change

The National Capital Authority (NCA) has informed us that rehabilitation works are now scheduled for Patrick White Lawns, our original event site. As a result, German Auto Day will now be held across the road at the Questacon Carpark (Parkes Pl W, Parkes ACT).
