About The Newcastle Show
Where City Meets Country. Celebrating Innovation, Tradition, and Community in the Heart of the Hunter.
Welcome to The Newcastle Show – the Hunter Region’s largest annual ticketed event!
Spanning three vibrant days, The Newcastle Show draws audiences from across the region, inviting all to celebrate the unique blend of country and city life. Hosted by the Newcastle Agricultural, Horticultural & Industrial Association Inc., the Show has been a beloved tradition for over 120 years, creating a space where businesses, communities, and families come together to explore, experience, innovate, and revel in the rich diversity of Newcastle and the Hunter region.
In 2026, we’re turning up the excitement with something for everyone! From brand new carnival rides to games and showbags, there’s also the much loved agricultural and community competitions and a range of events in the centre ring. There will always be something happening, including Starstruck on the main stage alongside music acts and a spectacular fireworks display on Friday and Saturday night. This year’s Show will be bigger and better than ever with exhibitions and entertainment included with entry. Early bird discounts apply for tickets purchased prior to the Show.
Join us as we celebrate everything that makes the Newcastle and Hunter region extraordinary – where the city meets the country in an event like no other.
