Powercor Country Festival
Geelong and Essendon will officially launch the 2020 Powercor Country Festival prior to the clubs’ Marsh Community Series clash at Australian Lamb Company Stadium (Central Reserve).
The Powercor Country Festival aims to highlight the role regional and rural Victorians play in the fabric of Australian life, with a specific focus on recognising and thanking the amazing work of volunteers in regional communities.
In the lead up to the game, fans can enjoy a mini festival on the hockey fields surrounding the ground, with activities for kids, a petting zoo and market stalls among the attractions.
A curtain raiser between the Cats’ and Bombers’ VFL sides will take place prior to the AFL pre-season match on Central Reserve.
