The event, at The Capital theatre, will discuss a range of health issues and provide entertainment.
It runs in conjunction with Men's Health Week.
Bendigo Community Health Service Men's Health Clinic nurse practitioner Peter Strange said men would gain important information from the evening.
"It will have everything men should be interested in about their health," he said.
"There will be information on all aspects of health.
"We will have good, healthy food and great entertainment."
He said there would be 14 different stallholders at the expo, which would prelude the night's entertainment.
Entry costs include a meal, access to the expo and entertainment.
Comedian Marty Fields will speak, along with Tony Doherty of Doherty's Gym franchise, Olympic cyclist Scott McGrory, entertainer Greg Champion and former AFL footballer Wayne Schwass.

He will talk about overcoming the stigmas of a mental illness.
