Track secretary Sandra Rybarczyk said it was set to be a great afternoon.
“It’s a very popular venue, and we always draw a very large cround,” Ms Rybarczyk said.
Ms Rybarczyk said the event should draw crowds of between 2000 and 3000 people.
“It’s just a great day out for the family,” she said.
Some major attractions will include a 10-horse pacing program, featuring the Maxfield Drilling Meander Valley Cup, a horsemanship display by Geoff Harvey and his horse Renegade, and a parade by champion pacer Destreos, who is 14 years old and still racing.
Alongside the pacing and horses, there will be free children's activities, such as a jumping castle, and face-painting, and a colouring competition.
“Jerome will be playing throughout the event, and he’s always very popular,” Ms Rybarczyk said.
Admission costs $5 for adults, $3 for pensioners, and children under 16 enter for free.
Gates will open at 3pm.
