Things to do in Murray Bridge: March 8-14, 2024
Your guide to the Magic Millions, Australian Sprintcar Masters and more.
One of South Australian horse racing’s most glamorous race days will return to Murray Bridge Racing Club this Saturday.
The Magic Millions will be run slightly earlier than usual this year to avoid the worst of the forecast heat, with the first race due to run at 10.25am.
Still, the usual array of food, fashion and thrills will be on offer, so if that sounds like your bag, head on up to the racecourse.
There’ll be comedy, live music and a market in the Murraylands this long weekend, too – check out our event listing below.
