Five days of vintage cars, rock and roll, Elvis tributes, and retro markets taking over Coolangatta.


Coolangatta accommodation books out fast and prices spike during Cooly Rocks On. Burleigh is a smart alternative:

  • 15 minutes to Coolangatta - easy drive or bus route 700 runs direct

  • Half the price - budget motel rates without the festival markup

  • Quieter at night - Coolangatta gets loud during the festival. Sleep in Burleigh, party in Cooly

  • Free parking - load up the hot rod and leave it safe at the motel

  • Great food nearby - Miami Marketta, James Street cafes, Burleigh Pavilion


Australia's biggest nostalgia festival, celebrating the motors, music, and lifestyle of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Gold winner at the Queensland Tourism Awards.

Motors

The Show N Shine is one of Australia's best. Over 900 classic cars, hot rods, kustom vehicles, muscle cars, scooters, and bikes line the streets of Coolangatta and Goodwin Park. Kustomville showcases lowbrow art and custom builds, plus there are car runs during the week.

Music

Rock and roll, swing, rockabilly - live bands across multiple stages all week. The big drawcard is the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest, one of only three official Elvis Presley Enterprises preliminary rounds in Australia. The 2025 lineup includes Jay Dupuis and Ted Torres Martin from the USA, Toki from Japan, Che Orton from New Zealand, and Australia's Jack Gatto.

Lifestyle

Pin-up pageants, the Moonlight Swing Dance (1940s style), Beachside Rock and Roll Dance, and retro markets selling vintage goods, clothing, and memorabilia.


By car: 15 minutes south via the Gold Coast Highway. Parking can be tight during the festival - arrive early or use park and ride options.
