Hills Billy Cart Festival 2022
Past Event
Our early bird registrations are now open for the 2022 Hills Billy Cart Festival on the 30th of October in Mt Helena. Individuals should choose a PERSONAL registration; Businesses, clubs and organisations should choose CORPORATE; and schools need to choose our INTERSCHOOL Cup Challenge registration process. This will enable us to ensure teams compete against each other for prizes, trophies and cash! Places are limited, so if you plan to be involved, ensure your place early!
Founded on the basis of a Billy Cart Festival organized by the Mount Helena Residents and Ratepayers Assn – it now has its own identity with the objective of encouraging other communities to stage similar events. This could be a series of events culminating in the Grand Prix in Mount Helena (the home to the resurgence in Billy Cart racing) on the last Sunday of October every year.
What was old is suddenly new again!
Billy Carts bring back many memories of simple outdoor fun with thrills and spills for everyone involved. In our modern world of electronic devices there is a certain appeal to revisit “old fashioned” activities, yet those activities do need to provide a little more protection for the participants than the old fashioned carts with their string steering.
