Come and explore the Port of Echuca this summer with free family fun every morning between 27 December and 11 January. 

Located across our Pop-up Park lawn space and on the Echuca Wharf, there is something fun and free to do for families every day - check out the calendar below 

** Two new dates! **
More free family fun coming on Saturday Jan 17 and Saturday Jan 31 (9am-1pm)

(Due to the extreme heat forecast, the activities scheduled for Wednesday 7th, Thursday 8th and Friday 9th January will not proceed as scheduled, to prioritise the safety of participants, vendors, performers and animals. While disappointing, we have rescheduled these activities for later in January.)
