Jack Morgan Park came to life on Saturday, August 10 with a huge “blast from the past” put on by Cartel Music and Events. The festival which ran from 11am to 8pm was an homage to the 1950s and featured hula hooping, classic cars, pin-up competition, rockabilly dancing and music, and of course, the king himself, Elvis!
This was the second year of the retro festival with the event team keen to once again use Coolum as a backdrop for the festival in 2025!
Bree and Lea next to the ‘Blues Brothers’ car – the famous duo made a showstopping entrance and got the event underway. Taylah and Savannah. The one and only, Elvis! Vivian looking pretty in pink! DJ ‘Soul Fusion’ aka Laree was on hand spinning retro tunes. Peregian resident Joanne with her 1965 Mustang Convertible and Peter with his 1961 Cadillac Convertible. Josh, Julie, Christopher-James, Therese and Steve. Representatives Nick and Mark from Noosa Radio with their classic kombi were on hand letting everyone know that the best local can be found via the new radio station.
