What is the Warragul Show?
The Warragul Show is a special type of event called an agricultural show. This means it celebrates farming, animals, and country life. People from many towns in the West Gippsland area come to visit. It's a great place to learn about where our food comes from and see amazing animals.
Two Days of Fun
The show usually has two main parts, spread across two days:
- Day One: The Carnival! This is often the first day and is packed with exciting rides, games, and delicious show food. It's a lively atmosphere with lots of laughter and thrills.

More Than Just Farms and Rides
