Our signature events

In 2022-23, the Town plans to deliver a broad range of events for our community and visitors to Victoria Park. Each event helps us to achieve our vision which forms part of our Event Strategy 2022-2026 - that Vic Park is loved, local and alive. 

Below are our signature events where the Town is the event organiser / producer. 

Business Awards

The Vic Park Business awards are a celebration of local businesses and are run annually by the Town. The awards provide the opportunity to local businesses to gain recognition for their achievements and showcase themselves to the wider community.

The 2022 Business Awards were held on Friday, 4 November at Mineral Resources Park. Stay tuned for next year's event!
