The 22nd Annual Rose-A-Fair takes place at St David’s Uniting Church from 8am, with the rose show itself to open at 10am.
Fair publicity officer Kerry Pryor said exhibitors should not worry about the impact of recent rain on their blooms.
“The judge will take the weather into consideration,” she said.
Former competitor Bill Redford returns for his second year as judge of the show, which has sections for cut flowers and floral design.
As well as roses, the fair offers a range of activities on the corner of Wilson and Olive Streets. Performers include musician Jeremy Kerr, Albury City Band and Border belly dancers.
Various goods and services will attract bidders in the slave auction while solar cars and energy circuits comprise a new children’s activity this year. Embroidery will be displayed and the stalls include craft, plants, white elephant, Devonshire teas, barbecue and vegetarian food.
