It's Show Time! 2026 Gawler Show is almost here!
29 and 30 August 2026
As South Australia’s largest regional show and Gawler’s must-see event since 1854, this iconic celebration brings together around 30,000 people for a full weekend packed with excitement, entertainment, and country charm.
Held every year in August at the Gawler Showgrounds on Nixon Terrace, the Show is a vibrant mix of tradition and fun — where the spirit of the country meets the buzz of the city!
Run by a passionate team of volunteers, the Gawler Show is more than an event — it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and connection.
Big city crowds, true country heart - only at the Gawler Show. The 2025 Gawler Show is celebrating 171 years of community spirit, innovation, and South Australian excellence.
The Gawler Show is the Region's largest Agricultural Show and Gawler's key tourism event, seeing crowd numbers of up to 30,000. The Society, made up almost entirely of volunteers, continually strives to develop the Gawler Show as a world-class regional Show every year, while maintaining the historical integrity of their founding principles from 1854.
