Toowoomba Royal Show

Queensland's oldest agricultural show, a proper country carnival.

Dating back over 160 years, the Toowoomba Royal Show is Queensland's oldest agricultural show — a three-day celebration of country life at the Toowoomba Showgrounds. Think prize livestock, show jumping, woodchopping, produce competitions and sideshow alley.

Add carnival rides, showbags, live entertainment and fireworks and you've got a classic family day out. The Friday is a regional show-holiday.
