Queensland Agricultural Shows

At Queensland Agricultural Shows, our mission is to celebrate and promote the value of our region’s rich Agricultural heritage, sustaining the future of Agricultural shows with support, resources, and advocacy.

Our Shows, run purely by volunteers of local communities, offer a range of competitions, events, and activities across the Sunshine State that showcase to all, city or rural, the talent and resilience of our local Agricultural community.

          Queensland Ag Shows is the peak body for the Agricultural Show Societies in Queensland. We were set up with the aim to promote and protect the general interests of Show Societies so they can continue to put on safe events and increase community wellbeing. Today we offer a range of services, competitions, education and information to help Show Societies run thriving, well-resourced and well-governed Agricultural Shows.

ABOUT AGRICULTURAL SHOWS

          Agricultural shows have played a leading role in the development of agriculture and communities since the first show was conducted in 1822 in Hobart. They are one of the oldest continuous events in post-colonial Australian society and are still popular in every state and territory with around 587 shows run annually in Australia.
          In Queensland there are 129 Agricultural Show Societies run by more than 13,500 volunteers. They provide small local events with community populations of 300 or less, to large multi-day events such as the Ekka which attracts over 400,000 visitors every year. On average though, the shows are small to medium sized which are run by volunteers who govern their independent associations known as Show Societies.
          Across Queensland the popularity of shows remains high as they continue to record 1.3 million visitors every year.
