The Ipswich Show
2017
The Ipswich Show has, for some 144 years, been a drawcard for families from Ipswich and surrounds, who have been coming to its historic site on Warwick Rd Ipswich since 1877, and before that, from 1873 to the original site in Churchill facing the Bremer River.
First established on March 14th 1866 as the Ipswich Agricultural & Horticultural Society, The Ipswich Show Society was from 1872 known as the Queensland Pastoral and Agricultural Society.
Today the 3-day weekend event, the biggest on the Ipswich calendar, incorporates the Ipswich Show Day public holiday on the Friday.
Come for one day or three, with a daily grand parade, equestrian events, sheep shearing, side show alley rides and attractions, an animal nursery and farmyard, an animatronic zoo safari and showbags.
