Cruising Cooly Rocks On | 2023 Part 1

Howard and his wife Heather spend the weekend at Coolangatta for the Cooly Rocks On Festival.
Enjoy part 1 from Friday cruising Cooly beach
The Cooly Rocks On festival is a popular and unique music and car show that boasts many classic car displays, vintage outfits, live music, dancing and pageants in Coolangatta.
This 5-day long car show is one of the major events of the region and attracts thousands of visitors to the Gold Coast year after year.
Renowned as one of Australia’s best Show ’N’ Shine displays, Coolangatta will be transported back in time as the streets are lined with over 900 incredible cars. Discover the best hot rods, kustom vehicles and lowbrow art in Kustomville, then wander through Goodwin Park and get up close to a massive variety of vehicles, scooters, bikes and more! For the die-hard motor enthusiasts, participate in this incredible display by showcasing your pride and joy, or partake in one of two (or why not both) Car Runs!
Put on your best dancing shoes and boogie to the tunes of yesteryear you know and love! Cooly Rocks On packs a punch every year with an incredible lineup of some of the best rock ’n’ roll, swing, rockabilly and tribute artists worldwide. In a unique offering, Cooly Rocks On is also only one of two festivals in Australia to host an official preliminary round of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, an Elvis Presley Enterprises-sanctioned event, with the winner heading straight to Elvis Week in Memphis. Let’s get all shook up!
Now, to put the cherry on top, Cooly Rocks On wouldn’t be the festival it is without celebrating the lifestyle of yesteryear. The Cooly Rocks On Pin-up Pageant celebrates the classic and rockabilly styles, and the Cooly Rocks On Moonlight Swing Dance, a 1940s style shindig, provides plenty of time for attendees to dance the night away. There’s also the newly added Beachside Rock ‘n’ Roll Dance for those wanting to keep their feet busy on the dance floor. But that’s not all! You’ll have the chance to shop a range of retro goods, vintage finds and memorabilia from the eras gone by with a massive number of markets along the beachfront.
Throughout the festival, you will also hear live music from a massive range of rock’n’roll, swing, big band, blues and jazz bands. Retro markets and food vendors will also trade from Thursday to Sunday during the festival.

Thanks for the coverage of this event Howard, it's a great car culture festival and has definitely grown since when it used to be Wintersun. Good to see Paul Cundy still kicking around, he built some pretty cool cars back in the day.

Wow, that crowd. I remember first going when this was a small car meet. For me, this is how a car show should look ❤ You’re smart staying within walking distance too. Saved yourself hours in driving to the show 😂
