KAROONDA FARM FAIR
‘Experience the Heart of the Murraylands’
The Karoonda Farm Fair is an annual 2-day event showcasing local, state and interstate farming and general interest products, services and events. Based at Karoonda in the heart of the Murray Mallee region, the field day is centrally located and enjoys a broad visitor base from throughout South Australia, as well as interstate.
With over 350 exhibitors each year, the field day attracts crowds of around 10 – 12,000 over the two days. The Farm Fair focuses on agriculture and associated industries with local produce becoming a real feature of the field day in ‘The Australian Zircon Lifestyle Pavilion’.
