ChromeFest: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Weekend on the Central Coast

Dates:
24th – 26th October 2025

Location: The Entrance Foreshore, NSW

If you’re heading to The Entrance in October, there’s one event you absolutely can’t miss: ChromeFest. Held annually across the last weekend of October, this retro festival brings the streets and foreshore of The Entrance to life with colour, music, and chrome. It’s one of the Central Coast’s most iconic events — and perfect for a weekend getaway.

What is ChromeFest?

ChromeFest is a three-day celebration of all things vintage. From classic cars and custom hot rods to rockabilly bands, retro markets, and fashion parades, it’s a nostalgic nod to the 1950s and 60s. With over 400 show cars on display, multiple live music stages, and crowds dressed to the nines in vintage glam — it’s a visual feast and a fun experience for all ages.

Highlights of the Festival

  • Live rock ‘n’ roll bands playing all weekend
  • Classic car show and shine events
  • Pin-up fashion competitions
  • Retro market stalls with vintage clothing, collectables, and food
  • Dancing in the street (yes, really!)
