Bendigo Show: A Spectacular Celebration of Family and Fun

Experience the Bendigo Show: A Family Favorite

The Bendigo Show is more than just an event; it's a family tradition. Each year, children eagerly look forward to the agricultural marvels and entertainment it offers.

A Day Full of Joy and Excitement

Every year, Ashleigh Sleeman and her partner ask their two children, aged six and seven, whether they want to do Halloween or the Bendigo Agricultural Show. "Every single year the kids pick the show," she said. "Mostly for the agricultural side of things because looking at all the livestock and the petting zoo and the flowers and the Lego shed - the kids love it." Baby goats are normally the brothers' favorite, but this year they were beat out by the Highland cows. "They'd never seen them before," Ms. Sleeman said.

Event Details

The Bendigo Agricultural Show runs from 9 am to 9 pm on Friday, October 25, and Saturday, October 26, showcasing the best of local livestock, art, baking, and carnival rides. Ms. Sleeman and her family were through the gates as soon as the show opened at 9 am on Friday, October 25. However, she said she wished she had allocated more than half a day to look around. "The balance between spending money and doing wonderful, entertaining things for free is so much better this year than any other year," she said.

Appreciation for Local Events

Families appreciate that Bendigo puts on events like this because it helps with being a parent. The community spirit and engagement at the Bendigo Show create lasting memories for families.
