A cartoon-themed Noosa Country Show will kick off the school holidays with fun for the whole family on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 September.
Located at the Pomona Showgrounds, the event is a long-standing country institution, with a mixture of ring events, displays, competitions, entertainment and, of course, food.
Visitors in 2024 can look forward to a variety of cartoon-themed attractions that are sure to delight visitors of all ages.
One of the main highlights will be The Grand Parade, showcasing an array of creatively designed cartoon-themed floats.
These floats are being crafted with care and imagination by members of Noosa’s talented community, ensuring a unique and engaging experience for everyone.
Noosa Show Society honorary secretary Cathy Magick said, “We hope to have local schools, clubs, businesses and everyone else participate in our Grand Parade and we’re offering a prize pool totaling $850 to the Best Decorated Floats.”
“I would also like to encourage our locals to enter exhibits in the various sections of our Show, including our Junior Sections.”
The Society was formed in 1909 to provide an outlet for the community to promote their achievements and display their produce.
While agricultural and horticultural pursuits may have changed in time, the show highlights some of the traditions such as horses, cattle, wood-chopping, art and craft, poultry and cookery.
During the day you can also check out the; Champion Dog Show, local school bands and choirs, line dancing, Miss Donna’s Magic Show, Street Science Shows and Workshops, Professor Wallace’s Puppets, an animal farm, Reptile Awareness, plus roving entertainment including balloon twisting and stilt walking.
The evening entertainment at this year’s show will feature; fireworks, live bands including The Claptomaniacs and Fonix, the Honky Tonk Rodeo, performances by Hancock Horsemanship and Silver Skye Equine Liberty, along with the Coastal Kelpie Stud Dog High Jump.
The show also proudly hosts the Showman’s Guild who supply most of the rides and amusements in the Show’s arcade zone.
