Saturday Street Sensation

The traffic of Airlie Beach Main Street will come to a halt on Saturday, for an action-packed day of colourful community events that will take over the town.
Starting with the sound of engines, the Revvin the Reef car show will dazzle spectators, with Hot Rods, Muscle and Classic Cars. Car enthusiasts from all over the region are ready to show off their unique vehicles.
Attendees will channel their inner retro enthusiasts, dressing in their finest 50s and 60s attire while enjoying classic tunes from the era.
The day will feature an array of other exciting activities, including roving street performers, engaging street demonstrations, and lively music. Don't miss bluesman Zed Charles, and some emerging youth performers, including Category 5 Duo.
At 3pm, the Wilmar Sugar Wearable Arts Parade will take to the streets, offering a vibrant display of creativity and sustainability. This unique event will feature an array of fashion pieces crafted from recyclable and renewable materials, highlighting the intersection of art and environmental responsibility.
Following shortly after athletes, local runners and anyone brave enough will be warming up for the Coral Coast Fire Magic Mile, as the streets of Airlie are transformed into a racetrack. Be an onlooker and cheer on the runners as they race past you, or why not register and participate yourself?
The afternoon will conclude with the iconic Rotary Club Street Parade, a lively and vibrant finale to the afternoon, where you can watch as creative floats pass you by.
Feeling peckish after all that captivating entertainment? Head on down to the Whitsunday Foodservice Eat Street where you can enjoy a hot bed of food vans ready to sell you a range of delicious dishes and beverages.
After having a bite to eat at the Foreshore Bar, walk around the immersive art installation before gearing yourself up for Saturday night’s Beats on the Beach, where you can listen to exceptional live entertainment brought to you by Airlie Events.
