Following the confirmation during the week of the time and place for the AFL Grand Final, the Victorian Government has confirmed the date for the Grand Final Friday Public Holiday.

This locks in the last unknown in the list of Public Holidays for 2020.

The Grand Final Friday Public Holiday will be on Friday 23rd October.

A little over a week later Hindmarsh residents will join many other Victorians with the Melbourne Cup Day Public Holiday on Tuesday 3rd November. Normally Nhill and Rainbow residents would not observe this holiday, instead having a holiday for their respective weekday shows.

It was announced earlier in the year, however, that the Melbourne Cup Day holiday would be observed across Hindmarsh given that no local shows are going ahead this year.
Public Holidays for the remainder of 2020
  • Friday 23rd October - Grand Final Friday
  • Tuesday 3rd November - Melbourne Cup Day
  • Friday 25th December - Christmas Day
  • Monday 28th December - Boxing Day Holiday
