Motoring enthusiasts will find plenty to get excited about, too.
Saturday hosts the Echuca-Moama show ute competition — covering everything from best themed setup to loudest running engine, while Sunday brings out a polished lineup of vintage trucks and motorbikes for the show and shine.
Inside the Holmfield Pavilion, locals will proudly display their finest work spanning arts, crafts, photography, baking, and horticulture.
To honour the big anniversary, visitors can go ‘Through the Lens of Time’, a special photo exhibition capturing 150 years of regional history.
