The Royal Canberra Show returns to Exhibition Park (EPIC) from 20–22 February, bringing three huge days of agriculture, entertainment and fun. With 150+ attractions, 5,000 animals and 450 trade displays, it is set to add to Canberra’s ever-growing list of big community events, mixing tradition with handsonon experiences and plenty of thrills for all ages.
Show Highlights
