The Central Coast will once again put the pedal to the metal when ChromeFest rolls into The Entrance on October 27-29.
One of the state’s biggest car shows, ChromeFest will see hundreds of car enthusiasts and rock ‘n’ roll fans come together to kick up their heels for a tribute to classic cars, vintage glamour and everything 1950s and ‘60s.
The free three-day event will be presented by Central Coast Council, with support from a range of sponsors.
Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith, said the ChromeFest 2023 event program was all about cars, chrome, fashion, swing dancing and tunes from the good old days.
“Now in its 15th year, the festival’s iconic Show ‘n’ Shine classic car displays have been opened for the first time to include show car owners of all makes and models pre-1979 with a passion for car shining,” Smith said.
“We invite all those who have poured their blood sweat and tears into restoring their cars to deliver a work of art, ensuring a bigger range of show cars at the event.
“ChromeFest will host over 10 live bands across five stages, a free evening show on Friday, October 27, in Memorial Park, a ticketed event on Saturday night, October 28, a pin-up competition, fashion parades, stalls, displays car cruises and much more.”
Administrator Rik Hart said ChromeFest was one of the major events Council delivered every year attracting thousands of visitors and generating significant economic and social benefit for the Central Coast.
“You can’t help but enjoy this nostalgic event with a walk down memory lane and soaking up the atmosphere at the outstanding cafes, restaurants and bars throughout The Entrance over the ChromeFest weekend,” he said.
Other highlights will include retro market stalls, trade stalls and general market stalls, a vintage glamour fashion parade, The Australian Pin Up Pageant NSW Grand final, roving entertainment, Paint N Chrome workshops and the ChromeFest Walk of Fame in a new area located in the Bayview Mall and Short Street Carpark.
