2025 Wrap up
And that's a wrap!
The 2025 Royal Adelaide Show has come to a close, bringing to an end another successful year showcasing agriculture, providing family fun, and celebrating everything that is great about South Australia. Of course, putting on such a large event would be impossible without the generous support of people like you, and the many thousands of individuals and organisations that lend their support from across the State.
The Royal Agricultural & Horticultural Society (SA) is a volunteer governed, independent, not-for-profit organisation that promotes excellence in our primary industries. Your support enables us to generate more than $200m in economic value each year, and proudly support more than 200 community groups, charities, schools and industry associations year-round.
The Royal Adelaide Show once again drew thousands of visitors from every corner of South Australia, and the atmosphere and community spirit was palpable.
Competitions
Showcasing the achievements of our primary industries through competition is central to Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society’s mission and are proud to report that or competitions reached new heights, with more than 26,000 entries and strong growth in grains and fodder, beef cattle and junior categories.
The new Grow & Sow competition was a standout, encouraging students to explore the science of agronomy and inspiring the next generation of agricultural innovators.
Interactive Features
Our hands-on agriculture and horticulture displays were once again a standout for families, including Aggie’s Farm, the Learning Centre by Urrbrae, Golden Grains, the Old Ram Shed and the Farmyard Nursery. These spaces, alongside the competition and displays, provide an opportunity for Show-goers to gain a deeper appreciation for the care and expertise that goes into producing our food and fibre.
Family Entertainment
Entertainment highlights included Gluttony on the Boulevard Stage, which once again delivered standout performances, and Bluey, which remained a firm favourite with families. Even with three times the number of shows scheduled this year, the international children’s star still played to packed crowds.
Inclusivity
Inclusivity remained a major focus, with the return of the accessible Crown Ferris wheel, Communication Boards (developed in partnership with Autism SA) and the Carnival Quiet Hour, offering more quiet days than last year. These important initiatives ensure an inclusive and enjoyable Show experience for more South Australians.
