❤️🤍💙 Horsham Businesses, let’s roll out the red, white and blue carpet!

Western Bulldogs supporters & AFL fans will be travelling through Horsham to Adelaide for the Elimination Final this Saturday 5 September.

This is a great opportunity to welcome travellers with coffee, food, fuel, shopping, accommodation and country hospitality and give them a reason to stop and return. A traveller who stops for a coffee today could be a visitor who returns for a weekend away tomorrow!

The proof: during 2026 AFL Gather Round, Horsham’s total spending was 7% above the 12 month daily average, with:
🍽️ Dining & Entertainment +29%
⛽️Transport +27%
🏠Furniture & Household Goods +29+

So whether it’s a red, white and blue display, a special offer, a warm welcome or a social media shout-out, let’s make Horsham a must-stop on the road to Adelaide.

There’s plenty happening locally too, with the HDFNL Preliminary Finals, Parkrun and the “Framed in Footy” exhibition at Horsham Regional Art Gallery.

Let’s make it a big weekend for Horsham.
