The story

Perth Royal Show in Perth

An eight-day agricultural show at Claremont Showgrounds featuring livestock judging, woodchopping, equestrian events and a large Sideshow Alley funfair. It is Western Australia's biggest annual show, timed to the spring school holidays and drawing exhibitors from across the state. The Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia has run the event since the 1870s, and its grand parade of champion livestock through the main arena remains a highlight for visiting families.

Claremont Showgrounds fills with cattle yards, carnival rides and produce stalls each spring as Western Australia's largest agricultural event returns to the city's western suburbs.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Competitive livestock and produce judging distinguishes it from an ordinary carnival, with cattle, sheep, poultry and craft entries assessed by accredited judges and winning ribbons carrying real standing among regional exhibitors

02

The mystery stays covered

The show gives metropolitan Perth a concentrated view of WA's wheatbelt and pastoral industries, with machinery displays and rural trade stands not found at typical city events

03

The city starts moving

Sideshow Alley showbags and the fireworks finale are longstanding crowd favourites

04

The water draws everyone in

Regional exhibitors sometimes travel more than a thousand kilometres from the state's pastoral north to compete, giving the show a genuine breadth few other Perth events can match

What moves first
