Things to do in Murray Bridge: January 31-February 6, 2025
Your guide to Infamous the Show, the Australian Sprintcar Championship, Mannum markets and more.

You might already have heard that the Australian Sprintcar Championship is coming to Murray Bridge, or seen the banners on Bridge Street.
In fact, we’ve got a whole separate preview of that event.
You might also have seen the gigantic big top which has been erected at Sturt Reserve for Infamous the Show, which opens this Friday night and will play both this weekend and next.
It looks absolutely amazing, and is definitely not the sort of thing we get in the Murraylands very often, so I hope folks can get down there and take advantage.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for something quieter and more community-ish, head down Railway Terrace, Tailem Bend tomorrow and check out the Station Master’s House.
It’s really going to be something once the local community centre’s transformation is complete – get in and see what they’ve got planned.
