On Friday, an evening cruise will be held on the PS Pyap with finger food and wine from a local restaurant and winery.

Pioneer Settlement will host the festival on Saturday from 11am to 6pm with a range of food including gelato, pasta, nuts, dressings, chutneys and wines.

A variety of musicians will provide entertainment at Pioneer Settlement including Chooka Parker from Australia's Got Talent, The Jolly Swagmen, The Fossickers Colonial Bush Band and Still Cruising.

On Sunday, the Swan Hill Sunrise Rotary Club will host its Local Produce and Design Market.

The club has invited local producers of food, art or craft to register for a stall now.

Market organiser Karina Finch said the market had been a huge hit as part of the 2011 food and wine festival, and they hoped to make this year's just as much a success.

"This market is unique, because it is an avenue for people to buy products grown or produced in and around the Swan Hill region," Ms Finch said.

"The number and variety of food and products made locally is so impressive, and I encourage anyone who would like to host a stall to contact us to book their spot," she said.

If you would like to host a stall, contact Ms Finch on 5030 2840 (ah), 0421 071 749 or email miknmee@bigpond.com.

The market will be held on Sunday, March 4 from 9am until 1pm, in the carpark between the Swan Hill Regional Art Gallery and Spoons Riverside, with entry by donation.

There will be a barbecue and other food available on the day, as well as entertainment.
