The heart of the Emerald Show beats in the Agriculture Pavilion — a true celebration of the region’s growing power and country pride. From golden grains and fluffy cotton to homegrown produce and the buzz of apiculture, this section showcases the best of what our land and locals can create.
​
Marvel at the giant pumpkins, get inspired by creative fruit and veggie art, and don’t miss the colourful decorated eggs proudly crafted by our youngest entrants.
Every exhibit tells the story of hard work, care and creativity that make the Central Highlands such a rich and vibrant region.
​
Explore the Agriculture Schedule to discover all the categories and see how you can be part of this year’s harvest celebration.
