Things to do in Murray Bridge: July 18-24, 2025
Your guide to what's on in the Murraylands this weekend.
With the last weekend of school holidays and winter still in full swing, it's looking like a chill weekend in the Murraylands.
One thing you don't want to miss out on before going back to school is meeting a native animal at the Murray Bridge marketplace.
Otherwise it's cars, football, netball, live music and kids DIY for Saturday and Sunday.
Have a great one, where ever you go.
