IT’S SHOW TIME
Celebrating 155 years of Toowoomba and the spectacular regional Queenslander lifestyle
Back in the 1860s, a group of the region’s agriculturalists and horticulturists came together with the aim to improve the region’s pastoral and agricultural resources and livestock.
First held in 1864, the Toowoomba Royal Show has come a long way from the purely agricultural and horticultural show it was more than 150 years ago.
Today, the Show also focuses on the lifestyle of regional Queenslanders, with events like livestock judging, showjumping and other equestrian events, produce competitions and wood–chopping contests.
With a more carnival–like feel, the Show has evolved into an event the whole community can enjoy, regardless of whether they’re a farmer or not.
Always developing, the Toowoomba Royal Show has become an interactive experience through its social media pages like Facebook and Instagram, giving old and young alike the opportunity to share their Show with the world.
With live entertainment, fashion shows and food tasting, what more could you want from a day out?
Bring the family down to the Toowoomba Showgrounds to celebrate the people and resources of your region.
Maybe even snap a pic while you’re there and add your memories to an online tribute to all that makes Queensland great, by tagging #ToowoombaRoyalShow.
