Hundreds of people are expected to attend the show, where there will be 60 tables of traders selling everything from antique dolls to supplies to patchwork.
The Doll Doctor will once again attend, and there will be activities for children.
All profits from the show will be donated to Bendigo Health’s palliative care auxiliary, which received $5300 from last year’s event.
Organiser Valerie Truant said as well as having had personal experience with loss, palliative care was simply a good cause to support.
The show will run from 9.30am to 4pm at Bendigo Exhibition Centre.
This year’s theme is Enchanted Forest.
Entry is $5 for adults, $4.50 for concession and students, and free for children under six.
The palliative care auxiliary also hold a fundraising morning and afternoon teas and a lunch.
