About this Event
Join us for the 2026 Emergency Services Expo, a free community event bringing together emergency services, response agencies, community organisations and local groups for a day focused on preparedness, resilience and connection.
Held at Victoria Park Recreation Reserve in Daylesford, the Expo is designed for people of all ages to explore emergency vehicles and equipment, meet the people behind the uniforms, discover practical safety information and learn simple steps to help prepare for emergencies.
With live demonstrations, interactive displays, family-friendly activities, local exhibitors and opportunities to connect with services that support our region year-round, the event highlights the important role every person plays in creating safer, stronger communities.
Everyone's favourite Heelers, Bluey and Bingo will also be heading to the event for real life in the Bluey Live Interactive Experience.
