The Historic Vehicle, Machinery, Tractor and Implement Display will charge a gold coin donation entry fee to support the Dragons Abreast women with cancer organisation.
Event spokesman Neil Athorn said organisers wanted to see people bring along their historic vehicles, bikes, trucks, tractors or stationary engines for display.
''This year we are looking for items powered by two-stroke engines. Tractors, mowers, stationary engines to feature. Makes like Commando, Victa, Bulldog, Chamberlain, Field Marshall and McDonald,'' he said.
''We would also like to see how many tractor implements we can have on display from pre-1965. This would include two behind and three-point linkage machinery. Makes such as Ferguson, International, Case, Sunshine, David Brown, John Deere, Shearer, Massey Harris, Sundercut will be on display around the trotting track.''
Mr Athorn said the event attracted 107 tractors in 2014 and organisers were hopeful of more than 150 this year.
He said the display would be open from 9am to 3pm on Saturday and Sunday with a tractor trek at 10am on Saturday.
Eaglehawk YMCA will provide onsite catering.
The event is run by Central Victorian Restoration Group, the Veteran, Vintage and Classic Club Bendigo and Federation Veteran Vintage Classic Vehicles Club.
