To be held on Good Friday, organisers hope for a return of a bumper crowd in what will be the second event to occur after the pandemic.
Favorited attractions as well as new exhibits will celebrate 52 years since the park opened.
Despite forecasts of poor weather, part-time curator, Jason Richardson, is confident of a cracking day of fun for all.
"If predictions are right it'll be the first rainy action day to occur in over a decade," Mr Richardson said.
"But, I'm sure it won't hinder attendance or dampen spirits.
"We'll have a wealth of demonstrations, including traditional shearing, steam engines, and activities illustrating not only the history of the Griffith area but also beyond.
Cultural dancing will also feature by the Griffith City Band, the Shri Lankan Dance Group, the Marrambidya Dance Group, as well as Samoan and Tongan performers.

"Dizzy Dilemma will be providing her hula hoop demonstrations and there will be musical acts by Stickie Fingers, the Ironbark Blue Grass Band and others," Mr Richardson said.
"There will be spinning, weaving and other craft workshops, as well as face painting, a jumping castle and a petting zoo to keep kids entertained.
"Plenty of market stalls will keep browsers happy and the Griffith Lions Club will also be cooking up a storm of fish and chips given it will be Good Friday."
