The only field day held in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, last year there was a record number of exhibitors with about 250 sites and over 5000 attendees across the two days.
Each year the major event continues to attract thousands of people and showcases the best agricultural machinery and products from the region.
The MIA region produces quality food and fibre products and is widely known as the "food bowl" of NSW.
"The machinery and farming exhibitors are always the biggest attraction," organiser Roly Zappacosta said.
"The Riverina Field Days showcase the best in farming practices and it's all thanks to the quality exhibitors."
A combination of family and kids attractions, entertainment, food and demonstrations have made the Riverina Field Days an event on Griffith's calendar that people look forward to.
"We encourage everyone in the region to visit the field days and support events like these," Mr Zappacosta said.
"It is the perfect opportunity to showcase what's new in farming, best farming practices, new technology, and a networking opportunity for farmers across a vast range of industries.
"It also boosts our tourism economy."
Mr Zappacosta said it was important that exhibitors also got plenty out of their participation in the day.
"Many of last year's exhibitors have booked again and there is great interest from first time exhibitors," he said.
"That means there is always something new to interest members of the public.
"We are always looking for new and interesting attractions and demonstrations to showcase."
Non-agricultural exhibitors and food stalls are welcome as they provide diversity and variety.
Riverina Field Days is not just for the farmer, there's plenty of stalls showcasing giftware, homewares and lifestyle products.
With Mothers Day on May 13, it is a great opportunity to purchase a unique gift.
