Summer Beach Hop

Get ready to rock and relive the retro era as the Summer Beach Hop returns to Coffs Harbour for a weekend of classic cars, live music and seaside celebration.

Held across iconic locations, the Coffs City Centre, Jetty Foreshore and nearby beachside villages, this high-energy event brings together over 100 classic and vintage vehicles, rock ‘n’ roll bands, retro fashion and nostalgic dance displays in a vibrant atmosphere by the sea.

Festivities kick off Friday evening with “Beach Hop by the River” at the Urunga Sailing Club –
An intimate adults-only event featuring live rockabilly music.

Saturday sees the City Centre come alive from morning with classic car displays, live-to-air radio broadcast, rock ‘n’ roll dancing and a special showcase from the Victorian Ford Customline Club. In the afternoon, enjoy a scenic coastal cruise before an evening concert performance at C.ex Coffs.

On Sunday, the celebration continues at the picturesque Coffs Jetty Foreshore with a massive Harbourside Market featuring more than 100 stalls, a Show ‘N’ Shine display, live bands, a dancefloor, fancy dress competitions and family-friendly entertainment. Sunday afternoon concludes with Tommy Memphis at Cex Woolgoolga.
