People are being invited to celebrate the diversity of the Limestone Coast at South Australia’s premier two-day agricultural event the annual South East Field Days.
The event will be held at Yakka Park, the purpose-built field days facilities in Lucindale on March 21 and 22.
This year heralds the 45th year the event has been running and once again the organisers have put together an exciting two days crammed with exciting attractions and lots of crowd favourites.
With more than 500 exhibitors the focus is on showcasing the latest in agricultural products, services and equipment.
There will be entertainment options for young and old, as well as a multitude of food and locally sourced wines.
Meet up with friends for a delicious lunch at one of the many food courts available on site.
Do not forget the two huge general interest pavilions where you will find all sorts of things to tempt you from craft, clothing, wine tasting and specialty food.

Ms Thomson is a presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia and an ABC radio talk back host with extensive media experience.

Ms Meagher is a passionate advocate for Australian produce with a career that spans both national and international stages.
