Kangaroo Valley Show

The Kangaroo Valley Agricultural Show is an annual celebration of the produce, talents, culture and history of Kangaroo Valley

The Show is held annually in February and is run and managed by the Kangaroo Valley Agricultural and Horticultural Association – a group of local volunteers dedicated to preserve the heritage and annual occurrence of the show.

The Association has a long history in Kangaroo Valley. It was created in 1881 with the first show taking place in 1886 on a vacant piece of land on the bank of the river at the rear of what is now The Friendly Inn Hotel. In 1888 the Association sought to secure a permanent Showground and accepted the offer of ten acres of land opposite the General Cemetery by Alick Osborne (son of Henry Osborne). This area, now known as Osborne Park, with its picturesque Showground and facilities has hosted the Kangaroo Valley Show ever since.
