Headlining the final show Norm Price from Yarrawonga supported by Warrnambool’s Robyn Gleeson accompanied by Trevor Keilar.
Spokesman Lyall Wheaton said Horsham Country Music had a successful year with many new artists introduced to the stage.
“There was a record attendance at the 10th Horsham Country Music Festival in March and good crowds at the monthly shows at the Horsham RSL,” he said.
Mr Wheaton said Norm Price and Marcia Rae were stand out performers along with Mike Brady who entertained a near capacity crowd.
“He sang parts of some of the well known commercials that he wrote and sang and he finished by singing his trade mark “Up There Casaly” which he regularly sings at the MCG on AFL Grand Final day,” he said.
The monthly shows return next year on February 8 with Sandie Dodd headlining.
Mr Wheaton said many known artists are among the line up next year including Rodney Vincent, Brian Letton, Marcia Rae and Stephen R Cheney.
This year Horsham Country Music donated proceeds from their October monthly show to Wimmera Prostate Cancer Support Group.
He said the group will continue its charitable work by inviting the Legacy ladies to shows, free of charge.
Mr Wheaton said the four-day Horsham Country Music Festival was set to be a great event from March 22 until March 25.
