About 35,000 people are set to converge on one of the Sunshine Coast’s longest-running events, which is set to inject about $4 million into the local economy.
Crowds will flock to the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show at the Nambour Showgrounds from Friday, June 13, to Sunday, June 15.
The official Show Day public holiday – for former Maroochy Shire towns including Buderim, Coolum, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Nambour – will be held on June 13.
The region’s show has been held almost every year since 1900. It was first held at Woombye, before it relocated to Nambour in 1909.
Sunshine Coast councillor David Law said this year’s edition would provide locals with a great opportunity to enjoy traditions like sideshow alley, woodchopping and fireworks.
“With a jam-packed program of events, competitions and attractions, the 2025 show is set to be the biggest yet,” he said.

“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,” he said.
