Across Deni, there’s a packed calendar of events and activities, with something for everyone.
There’s plenty to keep the little ones entertained during the winter school holidays.
Edward River Library continues to deliver a fantastic range of activities, including the ever-popular Friday and Saturday Splat sessions, hands-on school holiday craft workshops and more.
Families can also enjoy two free movie screenings at the Deniliquin Town Hall, with Dog Man showing on July 7 and Kangaroo on July 14; the perfect excuse to gather the kids and enjoy a fun afternoon out.
If escaping the cold indoors sounds more appealing, local arts and culture have you covered.
The Peppin Heritage Centre Gallery will host Art of Three, a joint exhibition showcasing the work of talented local artists, from July 2 to August 4.
Following closely behind will be the return of the much loved Bald Archy Prize, bringing its trademark wit, satire and cheeky portraits back to Deni for another year.
History buffs won’t want to miss a major milestone celebration this winter.
Marking 150 years of the Deniliquin-Moama Railway, a heritage locomotive will travel from Melbourne to Deniliquin via Seymour, Bendigo and Echuca this Sunday.
Visitors can upgrade their train ticket to include a Deni Historical Tour, complete with lunch and shuttle services, making it a memorable experience for newcomers and locals alike.
Throughout the school holiday period - and the season - bakeries, cafés, diners, restaurants and pubs will offer delicious winter menus to warm up our locals and visitors, with local retailers stocked up on cosy winter fashion must-haves as well.
A winter day or two in Deni can offer the perfect reset these holidays, against the beauty of the Edward River and inner-CBD lagoons.
