Where did it all begin?
The RASV started organizing the festival to celebrate over 160 years of bringing agriculture from the countryside to the city. The event is currently Victoria’s largest showcase of agriculture, giving punters an insight into the importance and purpose of the traditional rural industry, as well as creating an experience for the whole family to enjoy.
