The show grounds have finally dried out after the recent rain, and the Proserpine Showgrounds are just about ready once again for the regions Annual Show Whitsunday.  All the excitement and family fun of the 109^th Show Whitsunday will be happening June 17^th & 18th. 

So, what can visitors expect of this year’s Show? 

The Annual Show Whitsunday is about 2 things – entertainment and competition. 

Entertainment in the form of thrills and spills of side show alley, the ever-popular Melville’s Baby Animal Farm, Natural World Education and their reptile collection will be calling in to educate us on living with reptiles safely.  Jetpack Entertainment will be appearing for the very first time in the Whitsundays and we are very excited to see what their act involves – so far we know there is jetpacks, a very large pool and lots of water…………

There is also a Show Train Ride this year which will be roaming around for those that wish to jump aboard.  We are very excited to welcome to the region for the very first time – Airtime FMX Motocross.   The Airtime FMX Team are promising the Whitsundays a captivating and jaw-dropping Freestyle Motocross experience.  With high-profile long-term clients including Sydney Royal Easter Show, V8 Supercars, Titans NRL, Ekka and Adelaide Royal Show, drawing crowds and providing action packed entertainment is what they specialise in.  Airtime FMX will be performing throughout both Friday and Saturday including a performance Friday evening just before our massive Fireworks display. 

The reason for the 109-year-old Show’s continued existence is competition and exhibits.  Every year we play host to many visitors from around the country to compete in our many agriculturally based pursuits. The Main Ring plays hosts to a two-day program of equestrian and horse jumping drawing entries from interstate. The stud and beef cattle exhibit are always a heavily contested state-wide event.  The Chook House plays host to varied range of poultry, ducks and geese entries from across the region and is very popular with the crowds. The woodchop competition is also a two-day event and draws entries Australia wide.   Our Art, Craft and Cooking competitions showcase the skills and talents of our residents across the region.  There is also the Fruit and Garden Produce and Plant and Flower exhibits.  Lastly the cane exhibit which is a major event on the local Sugar Industry Calendar.

We also have numerous trade exhibits as well as the industrial area display where you can view the latest cars, tractors, 4WD bikes and boats………… Our show truly has something for everyone.
