The Vintage Van Festival: Retro Revival in Caloundra

Last year’s inaugural festival was a roaring success, with vintage van enthusiasts flocking to the Sunshine Coast from all corners of the country. This year promises to be even bigger and better, with a quirky yet funky display of vintage vans, stellar entertainment, and an epic array of local food vendors.

A Retro Wonderland

The stunning waterfront park at Caloundra’s Big4 Holiday Park is transformed into a retro wonderland. The festival will feature a dazzling array of vintage vans, each one a unique piece of history on wheels. Whether you’re a die-hard vintage van aficionado or just looking for a fun day out, throw the date in the calendar - you'll want to be there! The vans themselves are a sight to behold, each one lovingly restored and decked out in all their retro glory.

Entertainment Galore

It's not all about the vans. The Vintage Van Festival is a celebration of all things retro, with entertainment galore to keep you grooving all weekend long. From live music to quirky performances, there’s never a dull moment. Last year’s festival saw some stellar acts, and this year promises to be no different. The Big4 team is currently seeking expressions of interest for sponsors, market vendors, and entertainers, so if you’ve got something to offer, now’s the time to get involved. 

Foodie Heaven

Foodies, rejoice! The festival will feature an epic array of local food vans, serving up everything from gourmet burgers to artisanal ice cream. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or savory, you’ll find plenty to treat your taste buds. And with the festival taking place right on the waterfront, you can enjoy your meal with a side of stunning views over the Pumicestone Passage.

Big4 Holiday Park: The Perfect Host

The Big4 Holiday Park in Caloundra is the perfect host for this fabulous event. Not only is it located in one of the most beautiful spots on the Sunshine Coast, but it also boasts some incredible facilities. The park has recently installed a stunning pool with infinity views over the Pumicestone Passage. This isn’t just any pool—it’s got epic water slides that even the biggest of kids will enjoy.

In addition to the pool, the Big4 Holiday Park has launched Australia’s first purpose-built accessible camp kitchen on the East Coast. This groundbreaking facility ensures that all guests, regardless of mobility, can enjoy a comfortable and inclusive holiday. And if that wasn’t enough, the park has also opened its own restaurant, Tripcony Traders Restaurant & Bar, which has quickly become the hottest spot in town. Overlooking the pool and the Passage, it’s the perfect place to relax and take in the views.
