St Joseph’s Primary School Fête in Cobram will be held at the school grounds on Saturday, March 21 from 9am to 1.30pm.
St Joseph’s Primary School acting principal Stephanie Arundel said the fête has been running for more than 40 years and is a “staple event on the calendar.”
“It's always an amazing day, we love people coming and celebrating our school with us,” Ms Arundel said.
“It’s really cool seeing past students still celebrating the day and, as they get older, bringing their own families.”

The fête will have various fun attractions for people to explore, from amusement rides and jumping castles to inflatable soccer and even a petting zoo.
The school students will also perform songs on the back of a truck and there will be show bags, silent auctions, hampers and a lucky dip.
Ms Arundel said the main attraction of the event is the food.
“We have the continental store where they prepare and sell the most amazing Italian foods, including lasagne, arancini, croquettes, schnitzel...cannoli, tiramisu, biscuits,” she said.
“We've got a cake stall which all the families contribute to, a produce stall that's got fruit, vegetables, preserves, jams, sauces and pickled things.
“Basically, don't eat for three days beforehand,” Ms Arundel said, laughing.

The school are also organising a major raffle with tickets available to purchase around town including IGA, Woolworths and Coles.
“It's dollar a ticket and there are some amazing prizes,” Ms Arundel said.
“Huge shout out to all the local businesses that donate year in, year out to our raffles and silent auctions.”
In previous years the school has raised $20,000 with the money going towards the students.
Ms Arundel said that the outdoor picnic seating, pirate ship playground, rope playground and the outdoor table tennis tables among other things have been purchased with fête money.
“It goes towards stuff that's going to actually help the students and benefit them,” she said.
Ms Arundel thanked the parent volunteers and fête committee for all the work they're doing in making this event happen every year.
“They are the driving force, so a huge thank you to our school community for putting all the time, effort and hard work into making this happen,” she said.
