The Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph
Come along to the Langtree Mall on Saturday 17th August and celebrate the 22nd Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph!
Bakers from around the country converge on Mildura to find out who bakes the ultimate vanilla slice and deserves The Great Australian Vanilla Slice Triumph title for 2019! And the Vanilla Slice Market Hall will be in full swing for you to ‘buy and try’ from local and visiting bakeries. Amateur sections are also on competition so why not make your own and be in the chance for some great prizes*.
Kid’s come along and participate in our ooey gooey Vanilla Slice slime making workshop, get your face painted and have a bounce on the jumping castle with your friends, or make your own vanilla slice with Banjo’s Bakery.
Come along and watch the Coffee Dash at 10:30am, with barista’s from all your favourite coffee shops competing in a fundraiser for Suicide Prevention and Support. Competitors will be judged on Pace and Grace, as they navigate the length of the Langtree Mall with a cup and saucer.
Join us for The Great Vanilla Slice Eating Triumph at 11:30am, again raising money for local efforts in Suicide Prevention and Support. Competitiors will line up to take the challenge of eating vanilla slices… with no hands!
Busking by local secondary students, market stalls, kids activities, and entertainment for all ages, join us for a fabulous day in the Langtree Mall, Mildura.
