Things to do in Murray Bridge: September 13-19, 2024
Your guide to all the events happening in the Murraylands this week, thanks to Murraylands Life magazine.
The main event this weekend will be the River Murray Netball Association grand final.
Either the Mallee Storm or Southern Mallee Suns will win their first A grade flag, and it will be the first time neither Mypolonga nor Imps have won in more than a decade, so the atmosphere at Tintinara is sure to be electric ... or sunny, depending who you're going for.
But if netty and footy aren't for you, there's still a bit going on in the Murraylands this week – scroll down and see.
