ABOUT US
Welcome to Year 2 – The Joondalup Festival of Motoring will return to the streets of Joondalup, Saturday 4th of May, and Sunday the 5 of May.
This family-friendly festival will see the city streets of Joondalup pulsing with live music, delicious food, vehicle exhibitions and lots of motorsport action. The festival will embrace Joondalup’s streets and laneways, enabling local businesses to showcase their wares and be part of the action, connecting people, art, culture, food/beverages, and a century of motoring engineering.
There will be the colour, sound and excitement of cars in full flight on the 2 km street circuit for the Joondalup City Sprint. But the action won’t all be on track, with attendees being able to wander amongst the the street and laneways, displaying hundreds of modern, vintage, exotic and rare vehicles.
A complete programme of activities will also be happening across the weekend, making the Joondalup Festival of Motoring one of the biggest celebrations of car culture in Perth.
JHM isn’t really the new kid on the block, our team are industry ‘veterans’ who have been working in the event and marketing space for the past twenty years. Our reputation has afforded us a constant stream of work just through word of mouth – but now we’re ready to grow and share our skills outside of our network!
We’re based in Western Australia, but have worked on national events and projects such as the Commonwealth Games (both Melbourne and Gold Coast), Motorsport Australia (MA) Rally Championship, World Swimming Championship, and the Australasian Safari. We have a small team of specialist staff who are always open to seeking a fresh perspective and curious about developments in our industry.
We are excited to be the people behind JFOM.
