Anzac Day 2014 will start with the Dawn Service held at Victoria Park Cenotaph at 5.45am.
The RSL will then be hosting a breakfast at 6.30am for the return ex-service and current service personnel.
The Western Plains Cultural Centre is also holding an Anzac Day Breakfast and talk with Andrew Glassop starting at 7am.
Andrew will be discussing the immediate causes of the war and whether anyone actually believed they would be home for Christmas.
The morning march leaves from the Dubbo RSL Club at 10.30am and will proceed down Wingewarra Street, Macquarie Street, Talbragar Street then right into the Memorial Drive in Victoria Park where the marches will be gather around the cenotaph.
The service will begin as soon as all the marchers are gathered and will be run by the Dubbo RSL.
This year's Anzac Day address will be led by Australian Air Force Wing Commander Robert Graham, a former Dubbo resident who served in Somalia in 1994, East Timor in 1999 and Afghanistan in 2012.
To conclude the 99th anniversary, the sunset service will start at 6pm at the cenotaph.
All services are open for anyone to attend.
President of the Dubbo RSL sub-branch Tom Gray is eagerly awaiting for the big day on Friday.
"It's not a day to glorify war, it's about celebrating the spirit and mateship of the Anzacs," he said.
