Be a part of the retro revolution at the Greerton fayre that's got all things vintage covered.

The Vintage and Retro Fayre is brand new to Tauranga, with 40 stalls of vintage items, such as clothes, furniture and vinyl on sale.

There will also be four Bay of Plenty vintage vehicle clubs displaying their classic rides, including the BOP Vintage and the Mini Car Clubs.

Throughout the day there will be live music from Gin Rickey Jive, who will be performing modern songs in a vintage style.

At 12pm, there will be chances to win spot prizes by dressing up to theme in vintage and retro gear for the Best Dressed Ladies and Gents on the Rotunda on the school field.

Greerton Village Main Street manager Sally Benning says the event was originally organised for March this year, but was cancelled due to the bad weather.

'There was a really bad weather bomb then, so I found another day because I felt it was a great event for the community,” she says.

'Vintage and retro is very popular now, and this event has something for everyone.”

The Vintage and Retro Fayre is on Saturday, November 18, at the Greerton Village Square, 179 Chadwick Road from 10am-2pm.

Chadwick Road will be closed off during the fayre and all proceeds made on the day will go towards Greerton Village School..
