The Macksville Show is one of the Mid North Coast of New South Wales' premier agricultural and entertainment events, celebrating the region's rich agricultural heritage, community spirit and local talent.
Established in 1906, the Macksville Show continues to bring together exhibitors, competitors, families, businesses and visitors from across the Nambucca Valley, Mid North Coast and beyond. The Show provides an opportunity to showcase agriculture, horticulture, livestock, arts, crafts, cooking, entertainment and community achievements.
The Macksville Show is proudly owned and operated by the Nambucca River District Agricultural Association Ltd, a not-for-profit community organisation dedicated to supporting and promoting agriculture, education, community involvement and local events.
Each year, the Show attracts a wide variety of exhibitors and spectators, with highlights including livestock competitions, horse events, poultry and dog exhibitions, pavilion displays of cooking, produce, photography, art and craft, family entertainment including Side Show Alley, and local trade and community displays.
Home to Local Organisations
The Macksville Showground also proudly provides a home base for a number of local community organisations, including the Rusty Iron Rally, Macksville Poultry Club, Nambucca River Pony Club, and Nambucca Scouts. The Showground remains a central hub for community connection, agriculture, recreation and local events year-round — not just on Show weekend.
