If you firmly believe you were born in the wrong era, we have some good, nay great news. The Gold Coast’s favourite nostalgia festival Cooly Rocks On is back and bigger than ever celebrating the cars and culture of the 50s, 60s and the 1970s!

Frock up and rock up for five toe-tapping days of music, dancing, cars, frocks and good old fashioned family fun. Established in 2011, Cooly Rocks On has evolved to become Australia’s largest rock’ n’ roll and nostalgia festival and a signature event on Queensland and Australia’s event calendar.

In 2023, everyone’s favourite events will be back, including the Show ‘n’ Shine, Pin-up Pageant, Retro Markets, Dance Parties and the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest.

If you’re keen to rock, roll and live your best pageant life, be sure to check out the full program and plan the ultimate long weekend in Coolangatta.
