Rockers will be showing off their moves, and style, throughout the three day event.
Organiser and dance coordinator Noel Brown said tickets have already sold out ahead of a great weekend.
“Everyone loves rock and roll,” he said.
“We’ve got about 254 coming – it should be good.
“Everyone’s keen I’ve been having phone calls all week for tickets but we’re full up.”
Mr Brown said rockers were coming from as far as Adelaide, Mt Gambier, Melbourne, Colac, Geelong or Ballarat.
He said events kick off at the Horsham Town Hall on Friday with an Emirates Cup theme and rockers all wearing yellow.
“We have Fenders Benders performing, who are pretty much the best band going around at the moment as well as DJ Jeff from Melbourne,” Mr Brown said.
Day two of the three day event will start with a fast paced demo at the Horsham Plaza from 10.30am to 11.30am.
Festivities will continue at the Horsham Town Hall as night falls with the Fender Benders and DJ Jeff once again performing.
A breakfast will be held on Sunday morning at the Horsham Angling Club Rooms before an afternoon of Rock ‘n’ Roll music and dancing at Horsham RSL, featuring local band Spectacles.
Mr Brown said the Horsham Rockers had been organising the weekend for months and were ecstatic the weekend was here and attendance was high.
He said prizes would be awarded for best dresses couple as well as best dresses man, lady and raffle prizes.
“It’d like to thank all out sponsors, we managed to get a few and they’ve given us some really good prizes and great support,” he said.
