What’s New At The Show?

In a week’s time the annual Show Whitsunday celebrate its 110th festivity with a repertoire of new attractions, as well as familiar favourites returning to the fold on June 17 and 18.

Carnival rides will light up the Proserpine showgrounds, dodgems will collide, and food vendors will whip up corn dogs to delight showgoers in mid-June.

10,000 people are set to roll through the show over its two-day duration specially to enjoy some of those new offerings.

Airtime FMX

High-flying, Evel Knievel like stunts are making their way to the Whitsundays courtesy of Airtime FMX Motocross next Friday and Saturday. In their first year at the Proserpine Showgrounds, the motorbike gymnasts will deliver captivating and jaw dropping live Freestyle Motocross entertainment, flying through the air in death-defying stunts.

They’ll display their acrobatic prowess all on motorbikes – a combination of skill, speed, and precision that no other show in the country can match.

Show Organiser Donna Rogers said they went the extra mile this year to secure these talented racers.

“They’ve been getting a lot of talk up and down the coast,” Ms Rogers said.

“These incredible athletes are going to be something so different for the show this year and we know they’re going to be an enormous hit.”

JetPak Entertainment

A “mysterious jet pack man” is gracing the showgrounds next week as part of the festivities. The water sport attraction propels its rider up into the air, allowing them to perform flying feats and twists and turns.

“We don’t want to spoil it too much,” Ms Rogers said.

“Let’s just say he’s going to be an absolute treat – a real spectacle!”

Familiar Favourites

The sugar town showgrounds will be filled with plenty of action for families to enjoy – with tickets available through online pre-purchase only this year.
