Now in its third year, the Spirit of the Muster has become a popular prelude to the iconic Deniliquin Ute Muster.
It offers residents and visitors a free and inclusive opportunity to experience the excitement and community spirit that surrounds Australia's premier ute festival.
Running from 10am to 2pm, the event will transform Cressy St and the Waring Gardens precinct into a hub of activity, featuring dozens of utes on display, live performances, family friendly activities, community stalls and interactive experiences.
The event is proudly delivered by Edward River Council in partnership with the Deniliquin Ute Muster and Deniliquin Business Chamber.
Deputy Mayor Kellie Crossley said the Spirit of the Muster continues to strengthen the connection between the Deniliquin Ute Muster and the wider community.
“The Spirit of the Muster has become an important part of our annual events calendar and the perfect way to celebrate the unique culture and community spirit that make Deniliquin special,” she said.
“This event gives locals and visitors the opportunity to experience the excitement of the Deniliquin Ute Muster in the heart of our CBD, while supporting local businesses and community organisations.”
Visitors can expect an impressive display of Show 'n' Shine vehicles from Ute Muster entrants, alongside a curated collection of utes presented by Instinct Media and local collectors.
Other attractions will include:
• REV Driving Simulator experience
• South West Music bucket drumming in the Waring Gardens
• Edward River Art Society art activities and open gallery
• Edward River Library’s ‘Utes in the Garden’ art display, showcasing ute designs created by local children
• Market and community stalls
• Live music, including a special performance by Australian country music star Amber Lawrence - and performances by Ellis Undercover.
Acting manager community and economy Chloe Sztejman said the event continues to grow through strong partnerships and a shared commitment to creating inclusive community experiences.
“We can't wait to see Deniliquin buzzing with polished utes, great entertainment and people out enjoying our local businesses and community spirit,” she said.
Street closures will be in place in the Deniliquin CBD during the event.
