Clermont Show Events & Attractions

2024

Clermont Show features a range of competitions and displays that return every year, along with a few special features as we try to bring something new to the Clermont Show events & attractions list.

Take a walk through the Pavilion showing off the talents of local artists, crafters and cooks. Step across to the boisterous and fascinating Poultry Pavilion, and continue on through the neighbouring Trade Pavilion. What to do next? Sit for a snack… or pop over to visit the dairy goats? Head down through Sideshow Alley, keeping an eye out for events in the Ring? But wait, that’s only half the Showgrounds! Beyond the Ring you can find Working Dogs competing in trials, and a high quality mob of cattle entered in Beef, Commercial and Stud classes. Trade displays, stalls and food vendors will catch your eye (and add to the bags you’re carrying).

Did you see everything? You might need to take another lap around to be sure. Better fuel up with a dagwood dog, some fairy floss or your favourite show-time treat!

Please note all times are approximate because Shows involve animals. And people.

Entertainment

The evening entertainment and fireworks happen on the Tuesday night. Wednesday is the local public holiday, with the Show running until mid-afternoon.

Feature entertainment for 2024 includes

• Skylighter Fireworks – about 7:30pm Tuesday night, in the main Ring.
• Hello Jane – Tuesday night music (Check out Hello Jane’s website)
• Dinkum Dinosaurs (kids/family) – dinosaur ‘zoo’, sit-on dinosaurs and fossil display, plus multiple performances of the Dino-Larious Comedy Show (See details on Dinkum Dinos website)
• Train Rides – Keep the kids happy and get a little sit-down time with free rides on the little red train at Clermont Show (It’s a train on wheels, no train tracks to trip over!)
• Viv’s Farm Animals – petting zoo with added shearing shows and presentations about animal care.
• Walter Whip and The Flames: Performing in the Ring on Tuesday evening, with an exciting Thunder and Hooves show before the Fireworks and a dazzling Walter Whip and the Flames show after the fireworks. These shows will repeat at around 1:30pm on Wednesday afternoon. He will also give whipcracking workshops and displays during Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday (not in Ring) (See more Walter Whip on Facebook here)
• Local Talent performing on our Community Stage
• Young Farmers Challenge: hilarious to watch, fun to compete! Watch the farming and not-so-farming youth complete *interesting* challenges in the Ring on Tuesday evening. (Quite close to the bar, for both viewing and entering convenience.)
