Regular events
There are a number of events held regularly at EPIC but in 2020, and into 2021 many were postponed, cancelled or changed in format as a result of crowd and travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.
- Summernats, an annual four-day car festival, at the beginning of January.
