The Gold Coast Show is coming soon! From August 26 to August 28, head to Broadwater Parklands and participate in the festivities. For 115 years, The Show has been bringing people together.
Going back to the turn of the 20th century, the Gold Coast Show has a rich and lengthy history. People can feel a sense of belonging thanks to the event. Moreover, the annual Gold Coast Show lasts three days, from Friday, a public holiday they call “Peoples Day”, to Saturday and Sunday.
What can you anticipate from the 115th show then? Many! Over 120,000 people attend the celebration of agricultural history and diversified modern culture in Queensland’s second-largest city. Expect competitions, demonstrations, displays, and free live entertainment!
As previously indicated, the entire 4 km of Broadwater Parklands will host the Gold Coast Show. Northern Zone, Central Zone, and Southern Zone are the three zones that make up the venue. The Show Trains can assist you in travelling from one end of the zone to the other if you want to see everything there is to see. Three Show Train Stops are present, and these trains run continuously.
To help you plan your day, below are a few of the many events and activities you can attend.
