Fun, food and fireworks: it’s show time

The Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show will return from 13–15 June at the Nambour Showgrounds, promising three unforgettable days of family fun, entertainment and community celebration.

For Buderim, Coolum, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Nambour and surrounding areas (the former Maroochy Shire), 13 June is the official Show Day public holiday.

It’s a great opportunity to enjoy show traditions like sideshow alley, wood chopping and fireworks.

Sunshine Coast Council Division 10 Councillor David Law said the Show was in its 119th year and was one of the region’s most spectacular events.

Cr Law said it brought together the best of the Sunshine Coast’s agricultural heritage, local talent and vibrant community spirit.

“With a jam-packed program of events, competitions, and attractions, the 2025 Show is set to be the biggest yet,” Cr Law said.

Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show president Rowan O’Hara said the Show was a unique opportunity to experience the heart of the Sunshine Coast.

“From livestock displays and equestrian events to woodchopping and showjumping, the event celebrates the region’s rich rural traditions while embracing modern entertainment and innovation,” Mr O’Hara said.

“This year’s theme, “Communities build a better world. Together we are better.” reflects the expanded program that includes free family activities, live music and educational exhibits.

“There’s also the ever-popular Night Show Spectacular featuring fireworks, stunt shows and crowd-favourite arena events.”

Families can enjoy a wide range of attractions, including the Community Stage, Education Stage and Around the Grounds experiences.

Kids will love the animal nursery, interactive displays and classic carnival rides, while food lovers can indulge in local produce, gourmet treats and a variety of food trucks.

Don’t miss the Showbags Pavilion, where nostalgia meets novelty with a huge selection of themed bags for all ages. And for those looking to shop, the Shop + Eat precinct offers everything from handmade crafts to boutique fashion and homewares.

Early bird tickets are on sale now via the official website at sunshinecoastshow.com.au. Options include single-day passes, family bundles and three-day passes. Entry is free for children under five, and discounts are available for students and concession holders.

To ensure a smooth experience, attendees are encouraged to take advantage of public transport and use the designated pick-up and drop-off zone located outside of Nambour State College.
