Mount Gambier Show

Since 1860, the Mount Gambier Show has been hosted by the Mount Gambier A&H Society and is one of the highly admired, fun-filled entertainment shows in the entire region.

The Mount Gambier Show is a huge local favourite with many amusement options. In addition to the rides and amusement games, the show is also a great venue for everyone to try tasty treats and local produce. Unquestionably, the Mount Gambier Show has something for everyone.

Held on the third weekend of October (after the first full week), the show is the largest of its kind outside of the Royal Adelaide Show. Over the three-day event, around 10,000 people from all walks of life and parts of South Australia and the Western Districts of Victoria pass through its gates.

In addition to the main features like the indoor and outdoor trade exhibits, beef and dairy cattle, horses in action, sheep, yard dog trials, log chopping, budgerigars, and poultry, the show is always seeking to improve by introducing new additions such as the centralised community hub offering a host of free entertainment.

The Agriculture Learning Centre has been developed to promote our schools’ programs and activities through the theme of agriculture. Children will learn about agriculture through a range of static and interactive displays, presentations, and activities. They will be encouraged to touch, taste, look, listen, and learn about farming and food production.

Saturday evening concludes with the fireworks spectacular, presented by the original Howard and Sons Pyrotechnics the display shines a kaleidoscope of coloured light over the arena, with various ground and aerial effects.
