About the 2026 Horsham Show – A Two Day Festival with an Agricultural Heart
We’ve made some important changes to the Horsham Show in 2026. Returning on the middle weekend of the September School holidays with the Saturday night Twilight Show with FIREWORKS on the 26th September from 5pm – 10pm. Family Day kicks of on Sunday 27 September from 10am to 6pm with a new Sunday night Carnival from 6pm – 10pm.
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 and the sixth most popular Show in the state, the Show 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.
MAJOR FEATURES THIS YEAR – Paddock to Product in the Maydale Pavilion & Historical Display of 150 Years of the Horsham Ag Society.
Visitors can experience everything from the new look animal nursery, shearing and wool handling competitions and 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.
