Get ready for show day fun
THE much-loved Esk Show returns in 2025, promising two full days of rural entertainment, community connection, and family fun at the Esk Showgrounds on May 23 and 24.
Organised by the dedicated team at the Esk Show Society, this will mark the 121st agricultural show — a true testament to the town’s proud heritage. Led by President Michele Arnold, the volunteer committee has pulled together a thrilling program for this year’s event.
“Our show has so much to offer for the local community,” she said. “On Friday we will have the Prime Beef and horse events and the Linda Trotter Memorial Dog Show running throughout the day.
“Saturday is our main day with pavilions full of different displays, free rides, lawnmower racing, wood chopping, the ute show, stud beef events and a brilliant fireworks display at night. There is something for everyone at the 2025 Esk Show,” Michele said.
“The Esk Show Society is made up of a wonderful cohort of volunteers who dedicate their time outside of their busy schedules to ensuring the Esk Show can run smoothly and give the local community a great day out. We would be nowhere without our members and volunteers.”
Free rides will be running on Saturday only, funded through the annual Esk Camp & Jam, and are another family-friendly highlight.
For those who love creativity and craftsmanship, the pavilion displays and Taste of Somerset exhibits will be a must-see. The day wraps up with a spectacular fireworks display, lighting up the night sky.
Gates open at 8am each day. Membership is just $18, with general admission at $15 Friday, $20 Saturday, and concessions available.
Don’t miss this iconic Somerset event that brings generations together through shared tradition and high-energy fun.
