Teams from Lennox Head, Glen Innes, Walcha and the hosts will line up for a jam-packed day of rugby.
The day culminates with the Far North Coast rugby premiers, Lennox Head, facing New England's premiers, the Walcha Rams.
Bumblebees coach Phil Jones, who spent some of his playing days in both Walcha and Glen Innes colours, is eager to see a big crowd down at Federation Park.
"You don't see this quality of rugby in Tenterfield very often so you won't want to miss it," he said.
Entry is free and the games begin at 12pm with a women's 7s fixture featuring Lennox Head versus a combined Walcha and Tenterfield team. Then Glen Innes will play Lennox Head in second grade before the Bumblebees play the Rams.
The first grade match will begin around 3pm. There will be a bar and barbecue running with proceeds donated to the Chopper.
