🧡 THANK YOU FROM MOTORFEST NI! 🧡

What a day! 🚗🔥

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along to Motorfest NI today — whether you brought a show car, came with a club, supported one of our traders, volunteered, sponsored us, or simply came through the gates for a family day out.

Every single person who attended helped make the event a success. 🙌

And this photo shows exactly who you were supporting today. 🧡

These are some of the incredible Community Rescue Service volunteers who give up their own time to help search for missing and vulnerable people across Northern Ireland.

💯 100% of the money raised at Motorfest NI goes directly to the Community Rescue Service, helping keep our volunteers equipped, trained and ready to respond when someone needs us most.

Motorfest NI wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support we receive from the public, the automotive community, our sponsors, traders, emergency services and our team of volunteers.

From all of us at Motorfest NI & Community Rescue Service…

THANK YOU. 🧡

We hope you had an amazing day! 🚗💨

📸 Drop your photos from today in the comments — we’d love to see them!
