The Ingham Show 2026 delivered another packed two days of competitions, community spirit and rural pride, drawing exhibitors and spectators from across the Herbert River district and beyond. From livestock and cane exhibits to photography, art, crafts, woodchopping and showjumping, the event showcased the region’s agricultural strength and creative talent.  

Young competitors featured strongly across multiple sections, while seasoned exhibitors continued to set the standard in livestock and craft. The showgrounds came alive with friendly rivalry, local support and a strong volunteer effort that kept everything running smoothly. Despite the poor weather, most left the showgrounds smiling.
