With an impressive list of prizes for this year's winners, locals are encouraged to dress in their best on Friday.
Organiser of Fashions on the Field, Christine Shaw, said there will be three judges who will pick the winners on the day.
"We have three judges coming up from Sydney for the event. They will be looking for entrants that are beautifully styled in the latest ladylike fashion. They will also be looking for entrants who match their accessories with their dress," she said.
There will be a number of categories on the day including ladies under 30, over 30 and over 50, open men's and junior girl and boy.
"Every year there are so many wonderful entrants, it is hard for the judges to choose," Christine said.
