Wandin Silvan celebrates 55 years in 2024

MARKING a significant milestone achievement Wandin Silvan Farm Field Days celebrates their 55th anniversary this year, a tribute to all involved over the course of so many years.

Operated by a committee of local volunteers as a not-for-profit organisation, the event is a popular and important local community event, with the field days scheduled for October 11 and 12 this year.

Favourably located in the heart of the renowned and beautiful Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges region of Victoria, the Wandin-Silvan Field Days are held at the picturesque Wandin East Recreation Reserve, with participants and exhibitors from several areas of Australia, both regional and interstate attending the event.

"We endeavour to maintain our very niche Horticultural and Farm Machinery theme, actively encouraging the involvement of all exhibitors but in particular those who can endorse our theme," said Brad Finger, president.

"Our popular Field Days provide the opportunity for visitors to see the latest in farm machinery, technology and related services, along with the chance to catch up and network with others in the industry and local area.

"The price and quality of machinery and equipment can be compared at the one location, with patrons able to have face-to-face contact with dealers and suppliers."

"The Information and Lifestyle Pavilion, complemented by the General Interest Alley, enables us to host a wide number of special interest exhibitors selling such as regional food and wine, beer, homecrafts, nursery produce, clothing and jewellery just to name a few.

"We look forward to welcoming you all to Wandin Silvan and hope you enjoy your time at the 55th annual 2024 Wandin Silvan Field Days."
