The display of 100 silhouettes symbolised and paid tribute to those affected by breast cancer in the community.
The Belvoir Park feature opened on November 14, 2010 to commemorate those who have lost their battle to breast cancer and celebrates the survivors.
It was established by cancer support group Brave Hearts on the Murray with support from Wodonga Council and a 2.5 metre bronze sculpture of a woman reaching to the sky surrounded by roses is its centrepiece.
Mayoral contender Cr Anna Speedie backed the project from the outset and attended the five-year celebrations on Saturday.
"It's been great to have somewhere special where people can come and reflect, remember and be inspired at any time of the year," she said.
Brave Hearts on the Murray president Jenny Black paid tribute to the council for its ongoing support of the celebration garden.
