OVER 100 delegates within the tourism industry gathered together for a special luncheon event on Monday last week to help launch the 2018/19 Greater Shepparton Major Events Calendar, which is expected to see events generate over $50M for the economy.
The major events calendar provides a great balance of major events across a full 12 months and a broad cross section of categories including arts and culture, food and wine, business, motoring and sporting events which reflect our region’s strengths, interests of our community and celebrate the great lifestyle our region offers.
