ChromeFest expected to draw over 50,000 people

Central Coast Council has started the countdown to ChromeFest, the three-day event that is fast becoming one of the biggest on the tourism calendar for the region and nation-wide.

In its ninth year, ChromeFest will see Memorial Park and the streets of The Entrance lined with hundreds of classic cars, from October 27 to 29, and attracts over 50,000 people every year from all over Australia. With the Show ‘n’ Shine show in full swing on Sunday, October 29, a free shuttle bus service will be on offer as a number of road closures will be in place for the show. The buses will leave every hour from Darren Kennedy Oval, Evans Rd, Toukley, and EDSACC Oval, Yakalla St, Bateau Bay, taking visitors straight to The Entrance for ChromeFest. The three-day festival is more than just cars and engines. The Entrance also comes alive with market and retro stalls, rock ‘n’ roll bands, dance displays, vintage fashion parade, free live entertainment and activities, as well as the Show and Shine presentation. Check out the full program online at chromefest.org.
