Malanda Show

July 5 - July 7

With 2024 show festivities due to commence in June, the hype, excitement and planning is well underway!   The main event, the three-day show, will this year take place on the 5, 6 & 7 July, which is the LAST weekend of the school holidays – perfect timing for families from afar to plan a trip to the Atherton Tablelands.

It promises to be an event not to be missed, jam packed full of fun and merriment, including the animal competitions and displays (dairy and beef cattle, horses, poultry and gorgeous animal nursery), pavilion full of culinary treats and craft and, of course, side show alley.

Kicking off the weekend on the Friday evening will be the ever-popular Street parade. The street procession is always a definite highlight of the Malanda Show.   The theme for the 2024 Street Parade is SPACE.  We encourage all sorts of vehicles from vintage to machinery, as well as elaborate costumes, walking processions, marching bands, decorated bikes and, of course, those wonderfully creative floats.

Saturday promises a full day of competition in the dairy, stud and main arena areas culminating with The BIG ‘Spar’tacular firework display in the evening, provided by the generous support of our Spar Supermarket and The Big Pub.  Saturday night provides an opportunity to see the inner farmer in you shine with the Farmer’s Challenge.

There is nothing like the unconditional love of a pet.  It is time to show off your furry or not so furry friends at our upcoming 2024 Pet Parade to be hosted on Sunday from 9.30am in the Ted Morris Arena.  Also on Sunday come along and cheer along our local celebrities as they fight it out to see who the Champion Hand Milker is.  Remember $500 proudly sponsored by Dairy Farmers will be donated to a charity of the winner’s choice.   In more exciting news both of these events will be presented by non-other than local Millaa Millaa  stand-up comedian Georgina Humphries.

The bar area will be rocking with Chris from Discotechnics on Friday evening and Careless on Saturday night both until late. There will be a blacksmith demonstration, a display of goats and sheep as well as a reptile display.

If all of this wasn’t enough to tempt you, you can also enjoy visiting the pavilion full of culinary treats and craft.  All the details for all competitions can be downloaded from our website.

There is something for everyone and ample opportunity for you to get involved in the fun.
