Australian Vespa Days 2023
This is the event for Australian and international club vespisti to get together and celebrate the Vespa motor scooter, meet old friends, make new ones, talk Vespa, and exchange ideas. With the support of the Vespa World Club and Vespa Australia, this rally is being planned by the VCoA with reference to the European tradition of official national Vespa Days events that occur in association with the Vespa World Day event. The event is for all Vespa – modern, classic, automatic, and geared. If your scooter was sold with a Vespa badge, then this is an event organized for you.
The venue is the northern rural Victorian town of Wangaratta, chosen for its central location, reasonably priced accommodation, and excellentride-out opportunities. There’s a lot to see in the region on either side of the event too, including the King Valley and Alpine National Park, so it’s worth extending your visit into a longer riding tour.

Two ride-outs are planned for the Friday afternoon, and five on Saturday (including one just for vintage Vespa). On Saturday evening, once again in reference to European tradition, there’ll be a Gala dinner with awards and entertainment. It’s a quality event and includes dinner and coffee, and whatever else we can add in before then. There’ll be some speeches and award presentations and music. Bar facilities next to the function area.
