More than 500 cars are registered to be on show this weekend, as Chromefest returns live to The Entrance on October 21-23 after two years of being online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Show cars will cruise the streets of The Entrance from 5pm on Saturday, October 22 and there will be free shuttle buses leaving every two hours from 9am on Saturday and 8am on Sunday from Tuggerah Railway Station on Bryant Dr and Harry Moore Oval, Canton Beach.
The three-day celebration of American classic cars, vintage glamour and the sound of rock ‘n’ roll from the ‘50s and ‘60s will feature three outdoor stages with covered dance floors and live entertainment.
There will be a free fashion parade on Saturday with free entry and other attractions will include: Show ‘N’ Shine, the NSW Pin Up Pageant finals, a Sydney Swing Katz dance display, free Paint N Chrome workshops, free live caricature drawings, a Stitched up Custom Trim display and roving entertainment.
There will also be mini speedway cars and a Rock til you Drop image display.
In the past Chromefest has attracted more than 50,000 visitors, with Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart, labelling it one of the region’s most successful events.
“Not only does ChromeFest inject a great deal of money into our local economy –over $14M in 2019 – it reintroduces tourists to The Entrance and surrounds, which has so much to offer,” he said.
“ChromeFest has always been a huge and very successful event, and given that due to the pandemic, car enthusiasts have had to cool their heels by attending ‘on-line’ for the last two years – we expect this year’s ‘in-person’ event to bigger than ever.”

Why don’t we have a undercover parking for carshows at the entrance, and why spend money for the Gosford waterfront when we live on northern end of the central coast get bugger all.
