Hawkesbury Show .... 19-21 April 2024

The Hawkesbury Show is filled with fun activities for all ages and showcases what the region has to offer.

No show is complete without amusement rides, carnival games, fried food and show bags.

Both Friday and Saturday nights there will be fireworks at 9pm. Always a display worth hanging around for!

Growing up in the Hawkesbury the annual agricultural show has always been the highlight of the year.  No matter what age you are or where you are from there is always heaps of fun things to do, see or even buy. The Show is well known locally and it's one of the few agricultural shows still running in the Sydney region and the largest show in NSW after the Royal Easter Show.

With so much going on it's worth planning ahead so you don't miss out on your favourite things.

Getting there...hassle free

Free parking is available at the Showground (weather and conditions permitting). As always there will be local road closures to streamline traffic - another reason to avoid driving.  The Hawkesbury Valley Way and Richmond Road entrances will be affected.

The best way to get to the Show is by train getting off at Clarendon station.  There will be extra train services running during Showtime.

Another option to avoid the crowds would be to park in Richmond and walk along Ham Common to the entrance.  The walk is flat, pleasant and will take you about 30 minutes from Bourke St.  Drop into the Hawkesbury Visitor Information Centre enroute.

If you live further away you could stay in the area so that you can spend more of your time at the show rather than travelling to and from. To find some great options for a place to stay go to Stay | Discover The Hawkesbury.

History of the Hawkesbury Show

The Hawkesbury Show started in 1845 in Clarendon and was attended by upwards of 3000 people. Ever since 1879 the show has been run by the Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association also known as the HDAA.

The show has only been cancelled 8 times since then - in 1919 due to the Spanish influenza outbreak, 1941-1946 as the show ground housed troops for WWII and also in 2020 due to COVID-19.
