Buckle up for an unforgettable day of chrome, curves, and classic motoring nostalgia as The Chrome Classic Car & Bike Show revs into Bray Seafront on Sunday, July 27th, from 11 am to 7 pm.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Bray coastline—directly opposite the former Esplanade Hotel—this family-friendly spectacle is a must-attend summer highlight for vintage enthusiasts, day-trippers, and families alike. With a gleaming array of vintage vehicles, rare bikes, retro motors, and beautifully restored classics, the event promises a journey through motoring history like no other.
From 11 am to 4 pm, the chrome will shine as hundreds of iconic cars and bikes line the promenade—from polished Mustangs and Mini Coopers to rare café racers, muscle cars, VW camper vans, and more. It’s a petrolhead’s dream with a nod to every decade of motoring excellence.
As if that were not enough, the Seafront Funfair is open daily from midday until 10 pm, while food trucks will offer a variety of cuisines to cater to all tastes, while artisan vendors will offer handmade crafts and more…
Whether you’re there for the horsepower, the hot dogs, or the heritage, there’s something for everyone to enjoy along the scenic seaside stretch.

Travel Advice
As with all large-scale national festivals and events, some level of disruption is to be expected due to the high volume of visitors expected in Bray. To help minimise congestion and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, festival-goers are strongly encouraged to walk, cycle, or use public transport where possible. Limited paid parking is available along Bray Seafront, and those travelling by car should make use of designated town centre car parks, including Herbert Road and Bray Central. Please avoid illegal parking, which can cause serious traffic delays, inconvenience residents, and obstruct emergency vehicle access. Whether you’re on foot, on two wheels, or using public or private transport, we advise planning your route in advance, arriving early, parking responsibly, and staggering your departure time to avoid peak crowds.
