Ballarat Bird Expo

August 2019 at the Ballarat Show Grounds

This year was again an outstanding success, although we did have fewer sellers and fewer birds for sale. That was a pity because the public were pouring in through the door! Again, we had many favourable comments from sellers, buyers, traders and DELWP. As organizers we were very pleased with the smooth running of the expo as well.
​
The Ballarat bird expo is held in the main Pavilion of the Ballarat Showgrounds, on the corner of Creswick Road and Howitt Street. We have Trade tables that are open to the public from 10:00 am, and bird sales that are open to the public at 12:00 noon.

Entry fee is $3 per adult; children under 12 years old are free.  Refreshments are on sale.

The sale closes at 2:00 pm.
