The Rockonz Rock and Roll Festival starts this coming Sunday (May 10) with a Classic Car and Hot Rod parade. Set in Christchurch the parade sets the scene for the Rockonz Festival which celebrates the Rock and Roll era – lifestyle, music and dance from the 1950′s through to the 1970′s. As with every generation, the cars and motorbikes were an integral part of the lifestyle of the youth of the time and the parade celebrates these machines.
The 2009 Rockonz parade will process from New Brighton along a wide loop of Christchurch with the route ending by entering Cathedral Square via Colombo Street. The vehicles will park in Cathedral Square from midday until 4:00pm when they will process down Colombo Street to the Cashmere Club car park and once again go on display. There will be a barbecue ($5.00) from 5.00pm with easy listening Rock and Roll music. This will be followed by a Rock and Roll dance from 6:00pm (Entry $5.00) held at the Cashmere Club. The barbecue and dance will be fund raising for Canteen (Teenagers with Cancer).
Date: Sunday 10 May, 2009
Assembly Point: New Brighton foreshore by the Pier, Christchurch
