Check out the full menu of retro goodness below for all the juicy details on what’s happening at the event! 🍔🎮🚀
It took me an hour to add all these emojis. It doesn't even look good 😭
Arcade Machines
They're machines... that play arcade games! They're big, beautiful and lots of fun. They're free to play on so show the kids what real games are like.
Cosplay Competition
Every event, we whip up our own Cosplay competition! Custom trophies, massive prizes, free drinks, and more! Dress up as your fave character, sign up on the day, and get ready for a cheesy good time! :D
KITT from Knight Rider!
We’ve got not one, but two KITT cars - an epic replica and the real studio car! And yep, it talks. Come have a chat with the legendary car that’s cooler than a meat pie on a cold day! 🚗💬
The DeLorean
As seen in back to the future, we have access to a DeLorean! She's big, she's beautiful and she may or may not take you back to the future...
MelodyLikes with the Barbies!
MelodyLikes is bringing barbies, Carebears, star wars, pokemon and more! her tables are easy to spot with the epic pink theme.
Clothes!
Yay clothes! We all need them. Uh... buy them..."retro".
Graded Pokémon Cards!
WOW! Graded cards! You can now pay 3x the price for the same card! Magical!
Robot wars
Nothing says Kiwi ingenuity like building a robot… just to watch it get smashed to bits. Robot Rampage NZ is bringing the chaos to The Retro Event...come witness the carnage!
Rebel Legion - Star Wars!
The Force is strong in NZ! Naboo Base – Rebel Legion New Zealand is a band of rebel scoundrels and Jedi do-gooders, bringing screen accurate Star Wars costumes to life for charity. They fight for the Light Side and raise funds for great causes.

This is a placeholder image. There are no dogs at the event. At least, I think there's no dogs at the event. I haven't asked Arrol but then again dogs generally aren't allowed in stores so I doubt the vendors would appreciate dog pee on their stalls. Maybe an attendee is a furry? Just ask everyone you come across if they're a dog. You'll probably find one eventually. My favourite kind of dogs are pomeranians. Labradors are also great. Actually all dogs are pretty pog. Everyone calls their dog "good boy" or "good girl" because all dogs are good.
