Vintage machinery enthusiasts from across Southland will converge on Edendale for its annual Crank Up this weekend.
The event, which started as a get-together of old-machinery enthusiasts from Edendale Vintage Machinery Club in 1986, has grown to be one of the largest of its type in New Zealand.
Club president Ken Bell said while the classic tractors and other vehicles were the main attraction, there would be something for all tastes.
It starts with a street parade around the town today at 7pm.
"Hundreds line up in the streets to watch the cars and have a beer and barbecue."
