Canowindra Show
Friday 25th, Saturday 26th September 2026
The Canowindra Show is a celebration of agriculture, community, and country tradition, bringing together locals and visitors for two days of competition, entertainment, exhibits, and family fun.
This year's programme features cattle & sheep judging, horse events, shearing, wood chopping, yard dog trials, poultry, the vintage tractor pull, car, ute & bike show, animal nursery, market stalls, sideshow alley, live entertainment, fireworks, and much more.
The Show is made possible by the dedication of our volunteers, committee members, sponsors and supporters. We thank them for their ongoing commitment and invite new volunteers and committee members to get involved and help keep this proud community tradition thriving.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Canowindra Show.
See you at the Show.
