Lardner Park Craft & Food Market
Dates: 6th August

This one will get you out of the hustle and bustle of the city for a day as you head into regional Victoria.

And if you need a kicker, the Australian Alpaca Association’s Lardner Colour Alpaca Show is being held at the same time, in the same place. Sold, right?
