The event will start with a parade at 10am - the parade route starts at the Primary School turnaround, moving down Settlers Way towards the shops, turning right into Lawn st & right again into Michie st, before circling the domain & coming to a halt in the middle of the grounds - where you are welcome to have a closer look at the floats.
There will be live music by a wonderful local musician, plus lots of stalls selling food & other items.
