Senior sergeant Craig Gaffee said any antisocial behaviour would not be tolerated.

"Our message is that these events are family friendly events and we encourage people to enjoy those events with their family and friends," he said.

"We'll take a zero tolerance approach to anyone that behaves in an antisocial manor or in a way that takes away the enjoyment of other people at those events."

Senior sergeant Gaffee said police expected people to drink responsibly and look after themselves and their mates, and plan how they were going to get home after the event if they planned on drinking.

"Over previous years these events have been really well attended by large numbers of people who have all behaved themselves and we expect the same thing to happen this year, but we won't tolerate people spoiling the fun of others," he said.

Police will also be out in force on Bendigo's roads over the Easter long weekend, warning that no effort would be spared to minimise risk to road users.

Leading senior constable Niall King of the Bendigo Highway Patrol said no discretion would be offered when it came to motorists breaking the law.

"There is no leave over this weekend for members of the Highway Patrol, we're rostering every member on so there will be eight vehicles from the Bendigo Highway patrol on in the mornings and eight in the evenings as well," he said.

"We'll be out there in all our high collision locations targeting seat belts, phones and speed."

Leading senior constable King said the key message was to be patient, plan ahead and take regular breaks.

"People want to get away but when you're in a car you want to be as safe as possible," he said.

"The aim of the game is to get safely where you're going and have a good and safe weekend and return home safely."
