Our Journey

A Trusted Name in the Garden Route

The Rattle & Rust Rally is proudly brought to you by Garden Route Events, a team well known and trusted in the Garden Route for delivering high-quality, family-focused events.

This Rally is the natural next step in a journey that began with the launch of the Outdoor Show, which later evolved into the Garden Route 4×4 Expo and today forms part of the widely recognised Garden Route Family Expo.

From Expo to Experience

From the beginning, the vision was simple:
to create welcoming spaces where families, communities and outdoor enthusiasts could come together and enjoy well-organised, meaningful experiences.

As the events grew, so did the focus; expanding into year-round, family-centered gatherings hosted at Bartelsfontein Farm, now a hub for exhibitions, activities and seasonal events.

Why This Matters for the Rally

Years of experience have shaped how Garden Route Events plans and delivers events. This ensures that the Rattle & Rust Rally is:

Professionally organised
Safety-focused
Family-friendly
Community-driven
Backed by strong local partnerships

The Rally brings together heritage vehicles, camping, adventure and community. All supported by proven event management and trusted systems.
