Lilydale Agricultural and Horticultural Show: If you missed the Royal Melbourne Show, the Lilydale Agricultural and Horticultural Show is the perfect smaller-scale alternative, running all weekend. Families can enjoy amusement rides, fairground games, showbags, woodchopping, horse shows, highland dancing, and safety demonstrations. The main stage features music, dancing, and reptiles, while the Melba Park end offers a free petting zoo, smokehouse and CFA displays, and local community group activities. The fun continues into the evening with a twilight stage and fireworks, making it a full weekend of excitement for all ages.
