The event takes attendees back to the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s – as part of the city’s 10-day Jacaranda Festival.

attendees stepped back in time and immersed themselfs in the vibrant era of the Livable Retrofest at Grafton Jacaranda Festival! A day filled with classic cars, bikes, and caravans.

Punters grooved to the nostalgic tunes of Linelockers and later enjoyed the rocking melodies of The Drive Ins. 

But that's not all! Guests where invited to step up their dance moves with rock'n'roll dancing demonstrations and lessons happening throughout the day.

Ladies embraced their chance to live their inner pinup queen via Retrofests age category Pinup competition where they  showcased their retro-inspired style.
