Things to do in Murray Bridge: February 9-15, 2024
Your guide to Waitangi Day, the Wakeboard SA state titles, a skate park competition and more.
Murray Bridge’s Kiwi community will celebrate their national day at Pine Park this Sunday, and you’re invited to join in.
The Maori Evangelical Church of South Australia has organised four hours of free family fun, including a jumping castle, farm animals, face painting and live entertainment.
It’s not a church event, though – everyone is welcome, Maori, pakeha, Aussie or otherwise.
Head along and see what all the fuss is about.
