Cunnamulla & District Show Returns in Full Bloom

Back

After a few tough years of drought and then floods with COVID thrown in the middle, the Cunnamulla & District Show is back – and it’s blooming bigger and better than ever.

Happening on Saturday 16 August 2025, this year’s event is all about celebrating the region’s resilience, renewal and community spirit. The theme “Full Bloom in the Bush” recognises not just the thriving landscape, but the strength and spirit of the local community. The Show promises a full day of fun, colour and connection – with something for absolutely everyone.

The entertainment schedule is packed: fireworks, horse and motorbike events, comedy and whip-cracking from the CrackUp Sisters, carnival rides, a bustling marketplace, delicious food stalls, DJ, a licenced bar, and classic crowd-favourites like the Young Farmers Challenge and show pavilion. There will also be Dog High Jump and Dash for Cash events in the main arena – come see who can outshine their competitors and win cash prizes.

The fun kicks off a day early with the Stockman’s Challenge on Friday 15 August – a full-day event showcasing the incredible skill of riders and their horses across three unique challenges.

The Cunnamulla & District Show is proudly run by volunteers and made possible by the support of generous sponsors. Thanks to that support, the committee have been able to grow the Show in exciting ways – bringing in more entertainment, trying new things and making the day bigger and better than ever before.

“We’ve had years where things felt a bit quiet or out of our hands,” says President, Amy Palmer. “We’re proud of what we’ve been able to pull together, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
