Chryslers On The Murray 2026
COTM will be held in 2026, from Friday February 27th to Sunday, March 1st 2026
The 2025 Chryslers on the Murray is now behind us and as the dust settles from a most successful COTM, the Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club has turned its attention to 2026 and is now busy preparing for next year.
Two issues that are being addressed by the Committee are the increasing costs of conducting the show and the relatively limited public facilities at the existing venue of Gateway Island.
In an exciting development, the Club has identified a new venue for next year’s show at the Wodonga Racecourse. This venue is already used for a number of large exhibitions throughout the year and is familiar to many local residents. It offers much improved facilities, including undercover spaces for many exhibitors and vendors, and improved pedestrian and car access. Most importantly, the new venue will allow the Club to retain entry costs at the current level but also provide the option of premium air-conditioned facilities for some exhibitors and vendors.
There are still many details to be finalized, but one important change is the date of next year’s COTM which will be two weeks earlier, running from Friday February 27th to Sunday, March 1st 2026. The Committee plans to provide regular updates on the new venue and next year’s show but the early advice on the date change is being provided to allow participants time to make necessary changes to holiday, travel and accommodation plans.

COTM
Chryslers On The Murray annual celebration of Chryslers is a family friendly event, held near the banks of the Murray River at Gateway Lakes in Wodonga.
From humble beginnings in 1992, the event has grown to attract several hundred Chrysler enthusiasts and their families from across Australia. While numbers continue to grow, the event has remained true to its core, still run and organised by passionate Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club members.
About
Chryslers on the Murray was created by the Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club, a social club formed in 1990, dedicated to Chrysler produced vehicles of Australia and American design across all eras.
The first car show, Mopars on the Murray was held in 1992. Now known as Chryslers on the Murray, the show has grown to become the largest Chrysler show in the Southern Hemisphere.

Our History
The first annual car show was called Mopars on the Murray and was an initiative of the Albury Wodonga Chrysler Club in 1992. A one day Show ‘n’ Shine, the event saw 60 Chrysler vehicles in attendance on the banks of the Murray River at Hovell Tree Reserve in Albury, NSW.
In the following years the Show ‘n’ Shine was expanded to a two day event and included a number of drives or ‘Runs’ to the local tourist attractions and wineries. A swap meet was added to the show in 1995 and has been successful in attracting specialist Chrysler vendors from across Australia. Entrants and enthusiasts alike now travel to Albury in the hope of finding that elusive part.
Chryslers on the Murray continues to grow, due to it being professionally run, even though all work is carried out by volunteers. Costs are kept to a minimum through sponsorship and support from businesses and corporate partners, as well as grants and support from Local and State Government.
Over the past few years, in excess of 700 Chryslers have journeyed to the Albury-Wodonga area to celebrate the Chrysler breed, making this event the largest Chrysler show in the Southern Hemisphere. A mighty effort and one of which we are proud, considering our club is one of the smallest Chrysler Clubs in Australia.
