Now into the 102nd Show in 2024, the Sunbury Agricultural Show was honoured with the Hume Council’s Community Event of the Year 2006.
While many rural shows are being forced to pull up stumps, the Sunbury Show has a firm hold on its position on the regional events calendar and continues to attract big crowds and is now into its 102nd Show.
Past Show Committee President, Mr Tony McMahon, accepted the award at the Council’s Australia Day Ceremony at the Broadmeadows Town Hall.
After the Show had started as a horse sale in 1915, the annual event has grown to attract more than 13,000 people each year, with many of the attractions similar to those you can see at the Melbourne Show, only on a lesser scale.
The Show Committee is dedicated to ensuring that the attractions are up to date and interesting to a variety of age groups and is also encouraging young people to join the show committee. This is the way the show will continue on and on throughout the years ahead.
