The band has been there for all the major events in Berry, such as Anzac Day, garden festivals, heritage events and, of course, the Berry Show.
The band will celebrate the milestone by holding a concert at the Berry Museum on Saturday, May 6.
A special display of band memorabilia will also be on show at the museum.
The display includes some of the original instruments, which were given to the new Berry Band when the band at Coolangatta folded.
Photographs, documents and artefacts which tell the band’s history will also be on show.
This display will be on show at the museum until the end of June.
The band has evolved from a military style band, playing martial and sacred music, into a modern concert band playing all kinds of music.
Everyone is invited to attend the concert on May 6, which starts at 1pm.
Several band members will receive long service awards, there will be some short speeches, and afternoon tea.
Those wishing to attend should RSVP to Kaye, 44 651240, and please arrive before 1pm.
