Wintersun 2009 starts on Friday 29th May and ends with the huge Best of Wintersun Concert on Monday 8th June. Wintersun is Australia's leading annual Retro Nostalgia Festival. Featuring almost 1500 Hot Rods, Custom and Classic Cars, more than 100 bands and performers, dancing, movies, and competitions. The festival is held in the border coastal towns of Coolangatta and Tweed Heads on the New South Wales & Queensland border. Many events are free, some are in the streets while others are in the local clubs and shopping centres.
The event was marred by the theft of two vehicles - a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor and mid 70's 350 4 door Holden were both stolen during Wintersun. This follows the theft of three vehicles at last year's Wintersun and will no doubt have an impact of interstate entrants that have no choice other than to park their vehicles overnight in Hotels, Motels and apartments on the Gold Coast.
