Traffic on the Pacific Highway was stopped briefly to enable the noisy, bright motorised snake of cars, trucks, fire engines and a man on a mobility scooter to make their way to the Gift grounds.
Young girls - entrants in the Macksville Gift Princess competition - were all smiles as they passed the Saturday morning crowd.
The day kicked off with a 6km fun run and racing proper will start soon, with the finals tonight and the renowned pyrotechnical display.
Entry to the Gift site is free.
