About the Nathalia Show

A proud annual tradition celebrating community, agriculture, and family life in country Victoria.

Nathalia Agricultural Society

The Nathalia Agricultural Society Inc. is the volunteer organisation that plans, organises, and hosts the Nathalia Show each year. Our dedicated committee works year-round to deliver a high-quality, family-friendly event that the whole community can be proud of.

We are passionate about showcasing local agriculture, celebrating community achievement, and preserving the traditions of the country show for future generations. From the youngest entrant in the pet parade to the most experienced competitor in the horse ring — everyone has a place at the Nathalia Show.

The show is held annually on the first Saturday of October at the Nathalia Recreation Reserve.

What Makes Our Show Special

The Nathalia Show is more than just a day out — it is a living celebration of what makes country Victoria great.

Community Spirit

Bringing together locals, families, and visitors from across the region in a welcoming, community-first atmosphere that Nathalia is known for.

Agricultural Heritage

Honouring the farming and pastoral traditions of the Riverina through livestock competitions, dairy showing, vintage machinery, and more.

Family Fun

Fantastic entertainment, rides, showbags, food stalls, and activities designed to delight visitors of all ages from sun-up to late afternoon.

Healthy Competition

Over a dozen competition categories — from home-grown vegetables to hand-crafted art — giving everyone a chance to shine.

Premier Horse Events

A respected horse programme covering harness, hack, and pony club classes. Horse entries accepted on the day at the gate.
