About the Horsham Show

The Horsham Show returns in 2026 with the popular Twilight Carnival on Saturday 26 September from 5pm to 10pm, followed by Show Day on Sunday 27 September from 10am to 6pm.

Held annually across the AFL Grand Final long weekend at Maydale Reserve, the Horsham Show is one of regional Victoria’s longest-running community events and proudly celebrates 148 years of agricultural tradition, community spirit and country hospitality.

Recognised as Western Victoria’s largest agricultural show, the event attracts thousands of visitors each year from across the Wimmera, Grampians and surrounding regions. The Horsham Show brings together the best of rural life, family entertainment and community competition in a vibrant two-day celebration.

Visitors can experience everything from livestock exhibits, shearing demonstrations and agricultural displays through to carnival rides, fireworks, live entertainment, showbags and delicious local food. Inside the pavilions, talented exhibitors showcase their skills across photography, art, cooking, horticulture, handcrafts and home produce, continuing traditions that have been part of the show for generations.

More than just an event, the Horsham Show is a gathering place for the community. It celebrates local achievements, supports volunteers, provides opportunities for young people to learn about agriculture and creates lasting memories for families who return year after year.

Whether you’re visiting for the animals, the competitions, the carnival atmosphere or simply a great day out with family and friends, the Horsham Show offers something for everyone.
