Plenty of chrome, horsepower, entertainment and shopping will be on offer at Bethlehem Town Centre today as the Cool Cars for Cure Kids roll into the shopping centre at 10am.

There will be fun for all the family with classic cars, hot rods, vintage cars, music, children's entertainment and more, all for a gold coin donation for Cure Kids and Red Nose Day.

Vintage cars will be among the many cars on display today.

'There's plenty of parking in and around the Centre and on Te Paeroa Rd, or catch Bay Hopper Route 62,” say organisers.
