Head to the beautiful riverside town of Tea Gardens for the fabulous Myall River Fair on the October Long Weekend 2024.

The day-long fair is free and has something for everyone and all ages, from surf boat races on the river to a sail past, ferry joy rides, duck races and a prawn-eating competition.

The day kicks off with a dog show - great prizes for your precious pooches who have the waggiest tails and the biggest smiles.

There will be dozens of stalls along the waterfront offering a range of delicious culinary delights as well as clothes stalls, unique art and creative works and locally grown organic products.

Fire trucks will give the kids and big kids a chance to hose down. There's also a Wet T Shirt contest for the blokes, and a vintage car display for all to enjoy. You can also add face painting, live music and a petting zoo.

The fair is environmentally friendly and suitable for persons with a disability.
