From animals to freestyle motocross, there will be something for everyone at the 2022 Rockhampton Agricultural Show.

The annual event will be held at the Rockhampton Showgrounds from Wednesday, June 8, to Friday, June 10, with a people’s day public holiday on Thursday, June 9.

Rockhampton Show Committee has released its program ahead of the event, which is available to view in full on the Rockhampton Events app or at rockyshow.com.au.

Committee member and Rockhampton Regional councillor Ellen Smith said that along with the entertainment line-up, attendees should make sure to check out the competition entries in the pavilions around the showgrounds.

“The horse showjumping and competitions will again be a major drawcard in centre ring with late entries for horses being accepted on the day,” Ms Smith said.

The stage is set for the 2022 Rockhampton Agricultural Show.

The Capricornian CEO Dale Grounds said the local business was proud to partner with Rockhampton Regional Council to bring the community stage back to this year’s event – a much-loved entertainment option offering a wide range of family friendly shows and workshops.

The Capricornian is also sponsoring the Rocky Show Volunteer Program.

Advance Rockhampton’s executive manager Greg Bowden said audiences would be wowed by international horseman Guy McLean in centre ring.

He said there was a whole pavilion dedicated to farm animals and there would also be reptile encounters, kids cooking classes and much more.

“The Mr Real Estate Farmyard will again be a big drawcard for all ages with its move to the Robert Schwarten Indoor Pavilion,” Mr Bowden said.

“There’s so much happening at the show this year – from reptile encounters, kids’ cooking classes, circus workshops and a great centre ring line-up – and all of this is on top of everyone’s favourite rides, sideshows, showbags and competitions.”

Entry to the show is $10 for adults and $5 for kids and concession holders. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at the Rocky Show website.

Gates open from 9am to 10.30pm daily.
