About the Show

For 11 days each spring for over 170 years, families from every corner of the state and every street in the city have been making happy memories at Victoria’s most vibrant community event, the iconic Melbourne Royal Show.  

Make more memories than ever before at Melbourne Showgrounds from Thursday 21 September to Sunday 1 October.  

This year you get outstanding value from a great range of ticket bundles. Your ticket to the Melbourne Royal Show gives you hours of all-inclusive entertainment, bigger smiles and hundreds of happy memories.  

Nowhere else can you experience award-winning food alongside thrilling rides, Melbourne’s music scene alongside the Spotlight Maker’s Pavilion winners, wander from the showjumping to the sideshow, or from the dogs pavilion to the dodgems. 

Cheer the champions in the animal competitions and cuddle calves and chicks in the Animal Nursery. Barrack for the best in breed or try your hand shearing a sheep and milking a cow.  

Taste award-winning cheese, coffee, gin and cold beer and treat the kids to fairy floss and a chip on a stick. 

Grab all your favourite showbags and decide your favourite craft and decorated cake. Hold your nerve in the house of horrors and blow your mind with the illusionists. 

Catch the city views from the top of the ferris wheel and catch the all-new line up of acts. 

It is where the country and the city come together to celebrate everything that is great about Victoria.
