Ballarat Spring Show 2020
On Wednesday 24th June the Society’s Executive Committee met to discuss and make a decision regarding the 2020 Ballarat Spring Show due to Covid19.
Having considered all our options, we have made the difficult decision not to run the show this year. We are disappointed that we will not have a show in 2020, however, the health and safety of the public is our top priority.
Due to the fact that there will not be a show we would like to give the Council the opportunity to make alternative arrangements for the Friday public holiday for this year. By doing this the Society hopes that local businesses that have been hit hard by Covid19 will have an opportunity to recoup some revenue in the lead up to the Christmas shopping period.
We would like to thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

The Ballarat Agricultural Show Society held its first activity on 10th July 1856. It was a ploughing match with twenty ploughmen taking part. Over 162 years later the Society is still celebrating its contribution to the community and agricultural activities.
We conduct a number of events which showcase the wide ranging agricultural nature of our community today. The Ballarat Showgrounds are also used to conduct a variety of activities by other groups. Facilities are available to hire.
