2026 Childers Show for the Whole Family
There’s something about a local agricultural show that just works for families. It’s an easy day out where everyone can find their own kind of fun little ones who want to see animals up close, older kids chasing rides and games, and grown-ups who love a slow wander through stalls and displays. The 2026 Childers Show is set to bring that familiar show-day energy back to town in May, with plenty to do and lots of reasons to make a day of it with friends or extended family.
The 2026 Childers Show is happening on Saturday 23 May 2026 at 5 Ridgway Street, Childers. The event listing covers a full day of show favourites, including market stalls, rides, games, animals, machinery and more. If you’ve been before, you’ll know the Show is a mix of things happening all at once something to watch, something to try, something to eat, and something the kids will beg to do “one more time”. If it’s your first time, it’s a great introduction to what makes country shows such a loved tradition in our region.
The Childers Show matters because it is one of the simplest ways to feel connected to our community. They bring together local groups, volunteers, exhibitors and families in the same place and kids get to see first hand that there’s a whole world of skills and stories behind the scenes, from animals and agriculture to machinery and hands-on know-how. It’s also a good reminder that not every family day out needs to be complicated. Sometimes it’s just about getting outside, running into familiar faces, and sharing a few hours where everyone’s doing something that feels genuinely local.
