The 2026 Royal Adelaide Show presented by Drakes 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.
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 remained strong, with more than 25,500 entries.
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.
Entertainment highlights included David 'the Human Cannon' Smith and Hot Wheels take over the Main arena, Gluttony on the Boulevard Stage, which once again delivered standout performances, and our kids entertainment program, which remains a favourite with families.
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. These important initiatives ensure an inclusive and enjoyable Show experience for more South Australians.
