In a special 10 year celebration, ChromeFest is rock ‘n’ rolling its way back to the Coast with more American classic cars, more vintage glamour, a kids area and a new Retro Caravan display.

A free event shuttle bus will also be in operation from Tuggerah Station, Toukley and Bateau Bay to make getting to the event easy for festival goers over the weekend.

Central Coast Council Unit Manager Community Partnerships, Glenn Cannard, said over 50,000 visitors from across the country are expected to attend the popular three-day event which last year generated $9.5 million for the local economy.

“There is a massive program of activities and events lined up to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of one of our biggest annual events, including live entertainment, retro market stalls, Vintage Glamour workshops and of course the iconic ChromeFest car displays.” Mr Cannard said.

“New this year, Sunday will see the expansion of the program to include Lowriders at Picnic Point and Retro Caravans displayed along the water’s edge on The Entrance Road.

“We also have a new ‘Kidz Zone’ with free activities including face painting, slot cars, a 9D virtual space movie experience, rides, motorised jeeps and a DJ with undercover dance floor.

“We invite everyone to be transported back to the 50s and 60s and join in three days of ChromeFest fun.”

ChromeFest will be held on 26-28 October and is a free event for the community presented by Central Coast Council and Californian Cruisin Incorporated.

Road closures will be in place during the event. Council’s free shuttle buses will leave every hour from 7.30am until 4.30pm on Saturday and Sunday from Tuggerah Railway Station on Bryant Drive, Darren Kennedy Oval on Evans Road in Toukley and from EDSACC Oval on the corner of The Entrance Rd and Yakalla St in Bateau Bay.
