Beachfest Show n Shine: Two full days
If you’re a lover of classic cars, vintage vibes, and coastal charm, then the Beachfest weekend in Caloundra is your dream come true.
The 'Show n Shine' days span over two glorious days: Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 May 2026. This is where the heart of Beachfest beats loudest, with polished chrome, roaring engines, and a whole lot of people enjoying the view.
Saturday 30 May 2026 - Show n Shine Day 1
From 8am to 2pm, the Caloundra CBD and Esplanade will be transformed into a living museum of motoring history. Rows upon rows of meticulously restored classics, hot rods, muscle cars, and cruisers gleaming under the Queensland sun. Whether you’re a die-hard enthusiast or just love a good photo op, it's a magical site seeing these machines lined up against the backdrop of Caloundra's playground.
The vibe? Electric. The streets are buzzing with car lovers, families, photographers, and curious passersby. You’ll hear stories from proud owners, see kids wide-eyed at the size of a 1950s Cadillac, and maybe even spot a few vintage outfits to match the era of the cars.
Sunday 31 May 2026 – Show n Shine Day 2 X Caloundra Street Fair
Just when you think it can’t get better, Sunday morning brings a fresh twist. From 8am to 12 noon, the Show n Shine returns along the Esplanade and Happy Valley car park -
The beloved Caloundra Street Fair is worth a wander from 8am - 1pm in Bulcock Street. Stroll through Bulcock Street as you browse artisan goods, local produce, handmade crafts, and boutique fashion.
It’s the best of both worlds: classic cars and market stalls, a short stoll away from each other.
Grab a coffee, chat with the locals, and soak up the laid-back Sunday vibes with a soundtrack of live music and the occasional engine rev.
The Beachfest Show n Shine weekend is something you can't miss. The cars, the fashion, the markets, the atmosphere, you’ll leave with smiles (and with no phone storage!).
