Celebrating Community Since 1918

The Blacktown Show Society has been bringing the community together for over a century. What began as a small agricultural exhibition at the Blacktown saleyards in April 1918 has grown into one of Sydney's most beloved annual events.

Today, the Blacktown City Show draws thousands of visitors each year for two action-packed days of livestock, entertainment, sideshow alley, local produce, competitions, and community spirit.

Our volunteer-run organisation is passionate about celebrating local achievement, showcasing our region's best, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." — Robert Smith, President, Blacktown Show Society

Two days packed with something for everyone — from the little ones to the young at heart.
