The Towong Shire and the Upper Murray area has been severely impacted by fires which are still burning in places.
The Tallangatta Rotary Club as co-ordinator of the Expo has decided that it will proceed with the Expo on Wedesday April 15th. It feels that affected landholders will need to be able to access equipment, lost in the fires, and the Expo will give that opportunity.
In recognition of the hardship that landholders have experienced the Tallangatta Rotary Club has decided that it will channel any profits from the day into bushfire recovery in the Towong Shire, so exhibitors when booking sites will be contributing to the recovery effort.
Entry to the event is free for visitors, but visitors can donate to the recovery through a Rotary Donation Box, or by buying a raffle ticket or two in the $2000 worth of wood that will be raffled.
The 31st Tallangatta Expo on Wednesday April 15th 2026 will feature the Wild Action Zoo(WAZ) This mobile interactive performance will bring an entertaining and educational experience to the Expo which will be a major attraction to visitors making the most of the school holiday.
The WAZ will add to the already varied program of agricultural exhibits, together with lifestyle and food orientated stands.

In an exciting development the 30th Tallangatta Expo will feature the Wild Action Zoo. This exhibit will feature native animals in a close up interactive situation which is fantastic for kids and adults.
The theme of the WAZ is conservation through education, as well as giving the opportunity to have some fun with close up contact and photo opportunities. There will 3 interactive sessions during the day plus continuous viewing opportunities.
April 16th falls during Victorian and NSW school holidays thereby providing opportunities for families to come to picturesque Tallangatta to view the Wild Action Zoo plus everything else that the Expo has to offer.
