Every year more than 100,000 people and 2,000 cars gather at Exhibition Park in Canberra for Summernats — but not in 2021.
Summernats has become yet another coronavirus causality, cancelled because the EPIC centre that hosts the event is being used as a COVID-19 testing facility until the end of November, and there is no guarantee that will not be extended.
"Not knowing if we had access to Exhibition Park was a big part of the decision about how we even try to adjust the event to fit within the restrictions," Summernats managing director Andy Lopez said.

Summernats is held at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC), corner of Flemington Road and Federal Highway, Lyneham. Summernats 34, which was due to take place in January 2021, is on hiatus until January 2022 due to due to EPIC being used by ACT Health as a COVID-19 testing facility until at least the end of November. A new, reduced capacity Summernats Rev Rock ‘n’ Roll festival will run in March 2021 to tide fans of the car festival over.[6]
