Saturday is the big Rock and Hop Gala Day, with the 2019 event attracting more then 900 vehicles, 100 stalls and 10,000 people. This is our huge nostalgia festival the atmosphere is fantastic, with lots of people dressed in their best '50s and '60s clothes, the music is pumping, the stalls are great, the dance floor is rocking and everyone is having a good time.
The cars, caravans and motorbikes are all on display and look great lined up on the grass. Take your time to have a look at the amazing array of vehicles from vintage, classic and muscle cars right through to modern. This really is a celebration of motor vehicles over the years, with a figure of roughly $30 million worth of cars on display in 2019.
The Stalls are selling everything from clothing, cushions, food, jewellery, nostalgia items and much more. We have a bar area where you can sit back, have a drink and take in all that is going on up on the stage, and there is plenty. The Best Dressed Competition is very popular and the entrants really take pride in their amazing outfits (if you would like to enter the Best Dressed Competition please "click Here").
This year we will have The Drama Queens playing and they really know how to get the crowd up on the dance floor with their great voices and their unique style of entertainment. We have plenty of competitions going on to keep you entertained, so get along and get yourself entered to win all sorts of fantastic prizes from our various sponsors. Make sure you get your ticket in our $10,000 lucky ticket raffle too, it's drawn on the day so you will know who won and if it's you then you can really have something to celebrate.
Finally of course we have the Show and Shine Competition Winners Parade. This is the highlight for all contestants and public alike. All of the vehicles which have won a prize for their sections are paraded through the crowd and are then lined up for all to view.
