Celebrating 150 years of fun at the Fraser Coast Show
The Fraser Coast Agriculture Show turns 150, with this year’s event promising to be a special celebration of tradition, fun and farming at this iconic two-day event.
Mayor George Seymour said this year’s show will be held on Thursday May 22 and Friday May 23 at the Maryborough Showgrounds and Equestrian Park and will be bigger and better than ever.
“We welcomed a record-breaking crowd of more than 24,000 people in 2024, and we’re hoping to go even bigger in 2025 as we celebrate a century and a half of tradition, fun, and farming,” he said.
“To mark the occasion, the Show will feature a range of exciting new attractions including a LEGO competition, scarecrow-making, quilting, macramé, and chainsaw sculpting.
“There’ll be plenty of family-friendly fun, with the Kids Corner offering face painting, the Dinkum Dinosaur discovery zone, the Young Farmers Challenge, and a Petting Zoo where little ones can interact with friendly farm animals.
“On top of all that, you can enjoy classic show favourites like thrilling rides, mouth-watering food, showbags galore and fireworks on both nights from 7:30pm.”
Cr Seymour said free buses will be running all day from Hervey Bay and Maryborough, helping people travel safely and stress-free to and from the Showgrounds.
“Fraser Coast Regional Council would like to thank the committee members who have worked tirelessly to put this schedule together and the volunteers involved to make this event a reality,” he said.
“For 150 years, families have made cherished memories at the Fraser Coast Agriculture Show – it’s a great day out and a true celebration of community spirit.
“The Fraser Coast Agricultural Show Society Committee (FCASS) is currently calling for more volunteers to help in a variety of roles across the two days. If you can lend a hand, contact the committee to get involved.”
Fraser Coast Agriculture Show Society Vice President Joy Duke said the Show was built on community spirit.
“This event wouldn’t be possible without the passion and dedication of our committee members and volunteers,” she said.
“The Show is all about creating lasting memories for children and families, while giving local talent a platform to shine.”
Cr Seymour said early bird tickets are now on sale throughout April with 20% off – a family day pass that normally costs $55 at the gate is just $44 online, saving you $11.
“Gates open at 9am on show days and close around 9pm.
