The Ingham Show Is Back This June

Get ready, Ingham — the 142nd Annual Herbert River Pastoral & Agricultural Show is just around the corner, and it’s shaping up to be a two-day celebration you won’t want to miss! Mark the dates: Thursday 26th and Friday 27th June 2025.

The fun kicks off on Thursday evening from 5pm until late, and continues all day Friday, which is also a public holiday — the perfect excuse to round up your family and friends for a full day at the showgrounds! Gates open at 9am Friday, with entertainment and activities running through until midnight.

This year’s centre ring will be buzzing with action, featuring thrilling showjumping and equestrian events on both days. Thursday night brings some exciting new additions: the Christie Family Six Bar at 6:30pm, followed by the Dog High Jump around 8pm — sure to get tails wagging and crowds cheering!

Friday’s highlights include the always-popular Woodchopping competition at 10am and the return of the beloved Sausage Dog Derby. The Outback Jacks Stockman Show will make its Ingham debut, and the evening will wrap up with a spectacular fireworks display around 8:30pm.

Animal lovers and little ones will be in heaven with racing pigs, Carter’s Petting Farm, poultry, caged birds, canines, and more. There’s also the Junior Paraders Competition from 2pm Thursday, and cattle judging and “Guess the Weight” on Friday morning — with a great prize thanks to Ingham Carrying Service.

Don’t miss the action under cover too — the NQ Tractor Pull will be roaring to life in the indoor arena on Friday.

Whether you're in it for the competitions, the critters, or the carnival vibes, there’s something for everyone at the 2025 Ingham Show. See you at the showgrounds!
