Attendees will be able to buy a variety of antiques from 19 stallholders who will be visiting Cobram from all around Australia, including from Sydney, Geelong, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Cobram Historical Society president Pat Kerr said the fair was traditionally well-attended with hundreds coming each year to browse and buy.
Affordable for everyone: Trinkets and jewellery will be on offer, alongside items for everyone’s budget.

“The fair is recognised as one of the best in country Victoria,” Ms Kerr said.
Items on sale will include Georgian and Australian furniture, English porcelain (including Royal Dalton, Shelley), silver platters, glassware, linen (tablecloths and serviettes), gold and silver jewellery, trinkets, antique fishing equipment and figurines.
Porcelain to go: Porcelain will be sold, ideal for a new set of kitchenware.

Artisanal food will be available for purchase, including magnificent cakes and homemade sausage rolls and gourmet sandwiches, all made by the Cobram Historical Society.
Ms Kerr is hoping a two-year hiatus will mean the show is well-attended with people eager for a return to normality.
“It is a fun community event and a great opportunity for people to get their Christmas shopping started earlier and find something unique and heartfelt for their loved ones,” Ms Kerr said.
Bygone era: The items on sale have an atmosphere of class and sophistication.

This year marks the 37th year since the fair began, with the first fair opening in 1985.
