Excitement builds for Benalla’s Creating Community Connections Expo

It’s a vibrant, family-friendly event bringing the community together on Friday, February 21 at the Benalla Showgrounds and Lakeside Community Centre from 3pm to 7pm.

With just weeks to go, final preparations are in full swing.

The expo promises an afternoon filled with fun, connection and inspiration. From interactive stalls to live performances, there’s something for everyone.

Community groups across Benalla have been hard at work creating engaging displays to showcase their contributions and foster new connections.

Benalla Rural City Mayor Bernie Hearn said the event was a true celebration of Benalla’s community spirit.

“It’s a chance to see the incredible work being done by local groups and organisations while enjoying a day out with family and friends,” Cr Hearn said.

“We can’t wait to see you there.”

Community members are invited to come along, enjoy the event and be a part of this exciting day.

Whether you’re looking to meet new people, join a local club, or simply enjoy the music and activities, there’s no better place to connect and celebrate.
