Waikato Show

5-7 April 2019

From its early days as an Agricultural and Dairy Show in 1907, the Waikato Show is unique in New Zealand and has grown to become a showcase of the Waikato. It celebrates and offers a taste of the region’s diverse communities, organisations, and businesses.

What's on Offer

The Show hosts a number of expos ranging from commercial backgrounds through to full community-based education sections. Expos include: the Autumn HomeXPO, Homegrown Harvest, 50+ and Loving It!, Te Papanui, the Clubs & Creativity Showcase, the Waikato Wellbeing Show & Life-long Learning, Youth Expo, Safety Expo, the Cultural Village, the Animal Expo and Kiwi Backyard, the Northern Region Alpaca Association display and Colourbration event and the ever popular Animal Farmyard.

Live on the Lawn

The Lawn features two alternating stages over the three days of cultural and original performances from Waikato locals. This is brought to you by the Cultural Village, which also offers a range of craft and ethnic food stalls, and Live on Lawn – a showcase of live and talented performances.

Special event: Schools' Day Out

There is a specially designed programme on the Friday of the Show for schools through a pre-registration system. This is an Autumn inspired programme and has a focus on different learning stations throughout the Show. The students have the opportunity to learn about sustainability of the environment, participate in competitions, experience garden to table snack making, discover new clubs in the community, visit the Alpacas and Farmyard, learn about our local service heroes and become safety ready at the Safety Expo.
