Cooly Rocks On

Get ready to rock, roll and live your best pageant life – the Gold Coast’s favourite nostalgia festival Cooly Rocks On Festival is back and bigger than ever celebrating the motors, music and lifestyle of yesteryear.

Frock up and rock up for five toe-tapping days of music, dancing, cars, frocks and good old fashioned family fun from June 4–8, as the streets of Coolangatta take you back in time. The iconic Show N Shine event will return with more than 900 cars on display, and die-hard enthusiasts can get their hot-rod fix at Kustomville. Rockers and rollers can dance to live acts by top rock’n’roll, swing and rockabilly artists, and let their hair down at the 1940s-inspired Moonlight Swing Dance event. Of course, the festival’s famed Elvis Tribute Artist Contest returns this year, along with the popular beachside retro markets.
