Nando’s Coolangatta: Cooly Rocks On

Nandos CoolangattaReplacing the famous annual event Wintersun, Cooly Rocks On in its first year saw a week-long celebration of ‘Happy Days’ culture – a festival representing everything that was cool about the 1950s and ‘60s and everything that’s hot about 2011.

Despite the very challenging weather, the event estimated an attendance of 90,000 people with people coming from far and wide to see the live bands, beautiful hot rods and entertainment.

The event surrounded our Nando’s restaurant in Coolangatta, so we took the opportunity to let everyone know we were there by giving out balloons and vouchers.
