Pretty Pine Father’s Day Market and Expo

This local celebration offers a wide variety of traditional and quirky activities designed for all ages. Central to the festival are its competitive events, including the historic Harvey Trotter tug of war, rubber duck races, dog high jumps, and crosscut saw contests. The expo also incorporates the Pretty Pine Farm Truck Show and displays from various local vehicle clubs, alongside working dog demonstrations and interactive features like a mobile golf simulator.

Families can enjoy live musical performances from local groups such as Sing Australia and The Gents, while children are entertained with novelty races and rides on a dedicated Rotary train. A diverse range of catering is available, featuring traditional options such as spit roasts and paella. The festival also hosts a popular raffle and spinning wheel with prizes donated by regional businesses.

The event typically operates from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Father's Day Sunday. Attendees are encouraged to bring cash for entry and purchases, as on-site ATM facilities are generally unavailable and some stallholders may not support electronic payments.
