Come along to the Daylesford Emergency Services Expo

Published on 27 August 2026

The Emergency Services Expo is returning to Daylesford in 2026, bringing together emergency services, community organisations and local residents for a free, family-friendly day focused on preparedness, resilience and community connection.

This year’s Expo will be held on Saturday 7 November from 10 am to 2 pm at Victoria Park in Daylesford. The event provides an opportunity for residents to meet local emergency service personnel, explore emergency response vehicles and equipment, learn practical preparedness skills and discover ways to get involved in their community.

This year's theme, "Prepared communities start with people like you", encourages individuals and families to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies while recognising the important role that community members play before, during and after emergencies.

The Expo will feature interactive displays and demonstrations from emergency services and community organisations including CFA, Victoria Police, VICSES, Ambulance Victoria, Forest Fire Management Victoria, Australian Red Cross, St John Ambulance, Agriculture Victoria and many more. Families can also enjoy free activities, live demonstrations, food vans, children's entertainment, Victoria Police Mounted Branch and the Victoria Police Pipe Band throughout the day. Everyone's favourite heelers, Bluey and Bingo will also be heading to the expo for real life in the Bluey Live Interactive Experience.

The Emergency Services Expo is free to attend and is open to people of all ages.
