Things to do in Murray Bridge: March 14-20, 2025

Hot weather this weekend is not expected to impact Murray Bridge Speedway, which will be hosting the National Super Sedans Title over three days.

However, music event Live at Diamond Park will no longer be at Diamond Park – it will be held at the Station instead, from 4.30-7pm on Friday.

The Adelaide Fringe will be coming to an end soon and there are only a couple more performances to be held here in Murray Bridge, so don't miss out!
