Things to do in Murray Bridge: June 28-July 4, 2024
Your guide to Winterfest at the Bend, a GSSA disco, a watercolour workshop, Coorong NAIDOC Week events and more.
If you’re keen to see more cars drifting this weekend, Winterfest is back for a two day event at the Bend Motorsport Park.
But if the rain comes on Saturday, maybe you’d rather be inside shimmying your way around a disco ball at GSSA’s disco event.
Put on your best disco attire or dress in what makes you feel best for a night of dancing, fun, and don’t forget the finger food.
Whether you’re a disco diva or just love to dance, this could be the perfect event for you, from 6.30-9pm at the Longriders Christian Motorcycle Club.
