The Sydney Royal Easter Show brings—to the middle of Sydney’s urban business district at Sydney Olympic Park—the equivalent of a country town of 50,000 people, with everything a country town should have: farmers, animals, a working dairy, livestock auctions, veterinarians, restaurants, bars, a radio station, a history museum, child care facilities, education classes for school students, public amenities, accommodations to sleep 1000 people on-site every night of show, an Honorary Mayor, even Easter church services, and the list goes on.
For instance, the 2024 Show boasted a total of 156 performance groups, comprised of 7,323 performers. And fireworks, we can’t forget the fantastic fireworks that explode their brilliance in the night sky 12 nights in a row! The beauty and heart of the Show is that it allows people to experience agriculture, to embrace it, to understand it, and to recognise the importance of it.
It's a unique experience to see farm animals up close.
The show is where many city children hear a real cow’s moo for the first time, they get to hold a duckling, see a pavilion full of dozens of different kinds of chickens, watch a cow being milked and pat a piglet.
The Sydney Royal Easter Show: memories, laughter, showbags, rides, moo-cows and piglets. Don’t miss it!
