The 2026 Millicent Show
Celebrating Excellence, Innovation and Community Spirit
The Millicent Show is a proud celebration of excellence, innovation, and community spirit – a welcoming space where tradition and progress meet.
A three-day event centred on excellence in agriculture and horticulture, it brings together farmers, families, and the Millicent community to share knowledge, showcase skills and celebrate rural life. Coupled with entertainment, side-shows and delicious food, the Millicent Show is a lively atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

The Millicent Show – Since 1876
149 Years of the Show!
Since its inception in 1876, the Millicent Show has been a cornerstone for locals and visitors to share knowledge, showcase skills and celebrate rural life.
The Millicent Show holds the distinction of being South Australia’s first three-day Show outside of Adelaide!
What began with farmers travelling for hours by horse and cart – and later by train – has grown into a vibrant event that now attracts exhibitors, competitors, and visitors from all over Australia. Today, some even arrive by air, landing at the airstrip that is adjacent to the Millicent Showgrounds – a unique feature that reflects the Millicent Show’s enduring ability to evolve while staying true to its roots.
While many of the traditional exhibition categories remain – spanning three centuries of continuous competition – some have adapted to reflect modern-day farming methods. New categories have also been introduced to celebrate technological advances and the changing interests of our community.
Beyond the competitions, the Millicent Show is alive with entertainment, side-shows, and local food, ensuring there is something for everyone. The much-loved Friday evening fireworks display continues to be a highlight, regularly winning awards and drawing crowds from near and far.
