[title]There are certain names or events in life that evoke memories that last a lifetime. The Sydney Royal Easter Show is one of them. From playing with cute animals in the farmyard nursery to riding the sky-high rollercoaster and eating Dagwood Dogs smothered in tomato sauce, The Show bursts with excitement, surprise and electric energy, unlike any other event in Sydney. It's also one of the best value days out you can have all year, with special discounts for families and those who pre-purchase tickets.
First held in 1823, the Sydney Royal Easter Show celebrates Australian culture, from our rural traditions to our modern-day lifestyles, and is proud to be Australia’s largest annual ticketed event. You’ll want to mark your calendars for this year’s Show, which will bring its antics to Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park from March 22 to April 2.
Featuring 12 hours of entertainment and activities daily (most of which are free after entry), marvellous exhibitions and awe-inspiring competitions (wood choppers, we’re looking at you), The Show is also super good bang for your buck with so much to see and do. In 2024, you can expect new entertainment, hundreds of rides and games, thousands of adorable animals, and delicious food offerings for every taste and budget.
This year, The Show has brand new night-time entertainment which is guaranteed to thrill, including trick riders, rope twirling, and a breathtaking display of lights, special effects, and fireworks. There is something for everyone – all your favourite Show classics will be back from the street parades and Airtime FMX Freestyle motocross to the iconic firework finale.
Bringing the country to the city, The Show spotlights what Australian agriculture has to offer. Think the Sydney Royal Flower and Garden Show to the Great Backyard Pumpkin Challenge and everything in between. And don’t forget, profits from The Show go to the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW and their initiatives supporting sustainable practices in regional and rural communities. Come along and learn more about where your food grows and meet some of the friendly farmers who are so grateful for your support after the tough few years they’ve had.
