Get ready for a whirlwind of excitement as 'Show Week' hits the region, kicking off with the Pioneer Valley Show this weekend, followed by the Mackay Show next week. With thrilling attractions, delightful exhibits, and mouthwatering treats, these shows promise fun for the whole family.

First up is the Pioneer Valley Show, proudly hailed as the best one-day show in Australia. Set against the backdrop of picturesque, tree-studded grounds in Finch Hatton, this year's event, marking its 60th anniversary, guarantees a jam-packed day of entertainment. From heart-pounding Hot Wheels action to the grandeur of the Grand Parade, there's something for everyone. Cap off the festivities with a dazzling fireworks display at 7 pm.

But the excitement doesn't end there! The Mackay Show takes centre stage from Tuesday to Thursday, showcasing the best of our local agricultural industries, arts, baking, and crafts. From thrilling showjumping and captivating cattle displays to the adrenaline-pumping monster truck show, there's no shortage of thrills at this beloved event. Indulge in famous fair treats like the iconic dagwood dog, and marvel at the spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky on Tuesday and Wednesday. The fun finishes on Thursday coinciding with Mackay’s public holiday.
