Mayor Wayne Thorley shared his excitement saying the unique charm and thriving community of Murray Bridge - the heart of the Murraylands – is what makes it stand out.
“This is recognition of the beauty and hospitality of Murray Bridge. We’re thrilled to welcome visitors from around Australia and the world to experience what makes our town so special.”
“This accolade is fantastic for our community. We’re ready to showcase our local attractions, from the expansive Monarto Safari Park, the largest open-range zoo outside of Africa, to our well-loved river and natural landscapes that provide incredible recreational and tourism experiences on our iconic riverfront.”
Murray Bridge is a destination with something for everyone, with the town currently hosting exciting shows as part of the Fringe Festival. In 2023-2024 the town hosted around 40 events, including cycling, music, golfing, water, arts and car events. This year’s event program is shaping up to be just as big with Murray Bridge Glows, a fire and light festival, a visitor favourite in winter.
The opportunities and experiences on offer are only going to grow, with Murray Bridge set to become South Australia’s largest regional city. Not only is it an amazing town to visit, it’s also a place where you can live well and thrive.
Murray Bridge continues to be a gem in South Australia’s crown, promising a memorable experience for all who visit. Plan your visit today.
