Sydney Royal Easter Show 2026

The 2026 Sydney Royal Easter Show is lighting up the calendar once again with a dynamic program of entertainment that keeps the energy high from morning through to the final fireworks. Much-loved crowd favourites are making a return, joined by brand-new immersive experiences that add fresh excitement to this year's line-up.

Easter Show Highlights For 2026

Animals, Agriculture & Hands-On Fun

The Easter Show is famous for bringing the best of the bush to the city. Kids can pat and feed baby animals in the Farmyard Nursery, visit working sheepdogs and cows in the Cattle Pavilion, and check out shearing, milking, and animal breeding demonstrations. For a truly immersive experience, don't miss Jamison Station, a 2.5-acre, fully working farm designed just for little learners.

Entertainment & Events

Every day brings a new line-up of shows and spectacles, from The Flying Fools High Dive Show to action-packed woodchopping competitions, motorbike stunts, live music, and roving performers. 

Over at ENGIE Stadium, audiences can brace for pulse-pounding thrills as David "The Bullet" Smith launches skyward in his famous Human Cannonball act, alongside adrenaline-charged motocross and quad bike stunt shows, elegant precision showjumping, and powerful live arena storytelling.

As the sun goes down, the arena transforms for unforgettable evening spectacles, including Tribute to Banjo and the stunning equine performance Imagine a Horse. Each night wraps up in true Show style with a dazzling fireworks display lighting up the sky.

Rides, Games & Showbags

Thrill-seekers of all ages can dive into the Coca-Cola Carnival, packed with adrenaline-pumping rides, or head to the Kids’ Carnival for gentler fun like the Ferris wheel and dodgem cars. After that, treat yourself to one of the nearly 400 showbags available, including Bluey, Pokémon, Barbie, and plenty of chocolate-filled favourites, which are all back!

Food Glorious Food

From Dagwood dogs to award-winning produce, food lovers are spoiled for choice. Discover delicious eats in the Sydney Royal Medal Winners Pavilion, enjoy farm-fresh produce at Ag Discovery Pavilion, or book in for a meal at the Angus Steakhouse.
