The Whitsundays’ much-loved show season is nearly here, with Show Whitsunday in Proserpine and the Bowen Show gearing up to deliver two huge weeks of country fun, community spirit and classic show-day excitement.

‍

Show Whitsunday returns to the Proserpine Showgrounds on 19^th and 20^th for its 113th annual event, continuing a tradition that has brought locals together for more than a century.

This year’s show promises all the favourites, from livestock judging, equestrian events and woodchopping to baking, arts, crafts and photography displays, alongside the always-popular Side Show Alley, fireworks and live entertainment.

‍

The event remains one of the region’s biggest community celebrations and a proud showcase of local industries, particularly sugar cane, with Canegrowers celebrating 100 years in 2026.

After months of wet weather, volunteers have already rolled up their sleeves to prepare the grounds, with organisers encouraging locals to get involved and be part of the long-running tradition.

‍

Just days later, the Bowen Show will take over on Tuesday, 23^rd June, bringing another packed day of rides, arena action, pavilion displays, food and family-friendly entertainment.

Bowen Show organisers say the annual event is all about celebrating local talent, agriculture and the strong community spirit that keeps country shows thriving year after year.
