160th Hillis Ford Wagga Wagga Show – 11th & 12th September 2026

The first Wagga Wagga Show was held on 21st November 1864. The Wagga Wagga Show Society originally operated under Murrumbidgee Pastoral & Agricultural Association. Throughout the years the Wagga Wagga Show has continued to grow and is now an important day in Wagga Wagga, with agricultural and cultural displays.

The Show Society owns the showground, which is managed by Board of Volunteer Directors and maintained by dedicated volunteers. If you would like to be involved, become a member, join our show committee or volunteer to help during showtime or help throughout the year. You can support in other ways like having a stall at the show, or simply coming along to enjoy the fun. Join us today to help keep our showground thriving for the generations to come. 

And remember that the Showground is not just about the Wagga Wagga Show. We offer a wide range of flexible spaces for hire, from the entire showground to small and large indoors areas. Our facilities also includes camping and stabling options, making the venue suitable for a diverse range of events. We have hosted everything from circuses, safety training courses and student education days to night food markets, family fun days and the annual Swap Meet. With so many options available, our showground is a practical and versatile choice for your next event.
