Traralgon runs a handful of events that repeat every month or every year, which makes planning a visit easier than chasing a one-off listing. Dates shift a little from year to year, so treat the notes below as the usual pattern and confirm with the organiser before you travel.
For one-off concerts, exhibitions and council events, start with Latrobe City's events calendar and the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre programme. If you run an event that should be on this page, tell us.

Traralgon Farmers Market
The fourth Saturday of the month, 8 am to 1 pm, in Kay Street Gardens in the town centre, beside the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre. The Lions Club of Traralgon has run it since 2008, rain or shine. It is a produce market, not a craft market: fruit and vegetables, baked goods and other food from local growers. The December market can move around Christmas — in 2026 the fourth Saturday is Boxing Day — so check the market's own site for that one.
Miniature train rides
The Gippsland Model Engineering Society runs public rides in Newman Park on the fourth Sunday of each month from February to November, typically 12 pm to 4 pm, weather permitting, with extra public days usually added in December. Rides are a small charge per person, and enclosed shoes are required. The society posts changes on its Facebook page.
Each year
Traralgon Junior International — January
An ITF junior tennis tournament at the Traralgon Tennis Association complex in early to mid January, run as a lead-in to the Australian Open junior championships. The council has renewed hosting with Tennis Australia through 2031. Draws and schedules are published by the Traralgon Tennis Association.
Traralgon Marathon and Running Festival — June
A marathon, half marathon and 10 km, usually on a Sunday in mid-June. The course starts and finishes at Glengarry, a short drive north of Traralgon, and uses the Gippsland Plains Rail Trail. Entries, the handbook and course maps are on the Traralgon Marathon site. Accommodation in town fills up that weekend, so book a room early if you are running or spectating.
Traralgon Horse Show — October
An agricultural horse show at Glenview Park, McNairn Road, Traralgon East. Date and programme sit on the Victorian Agricultural Shows calendar.
Traralgon Cup — November
The Latrobe Valley Racing Club's feature meeting at Glenview Park, usually on a Sunday late in November, a month after the club's Derby Day. It is the social end of the local spring racing season. Race-day details come from Latrobe Valley Racing Club.
Arts and sport through the year
The Gippsland Performing Arts Centre in Traralgon is the valley's main theatre: touring music, comedy, children's shows and local productions. Greyhound and horse meetings run at Glenview Park outside Cup day as well. For parks, the town centre and other things to do between events, see things to do.
