Atherton Tableland Agricultural Society Inc
Atherton
Our flagship event, the annual Agricultural Show, is designed to highlight the diverse agricultural, economic, artistic, and cultural opportunities that the Tablelands is renowned for. As one of the largest annual events on the Atherton Tablelands, the Atherton Show attracts between 6,500 and 9,000 attendees each year over a two-day period. This event garners interest from, and provides benefits to, the entire central and northern Tablelands region. The continued support from the Tablelands Regional Council and the Queensland Government is instrumental in ensuring the seamless execution of the Show.
In addition to the Annual Agricultural Show, ATAS is proud to host a variety of other community-oriented events, including Art & Craft Markets, Carols by Candlelight, and the biannual Tolga Scarecrow Festival.
Our events are a mix of exhibitions, competitions, festivities, commerce, education, arts and culture.
