It's all bright lights, high dives and endless thrills! The second week of Sydney Royal Easter Show rides on a non-stop high as street parades march along the grounds, Show foodies munch around the markets, and the animals mosey on at the pavilions.
Relive the scenes of the Show below and watch our Daily Highlights - and read until the end to pencil in our 2027 Show dates!
Feel the rhythm of the Show on Day 7! Marching Bands are a-drummin' at the Intersection, filling the heart of the Show with trumpets and fanfare. Meanwhile, Showgoers munch and crunch through YumYum Noodle Market, chewing their way through gravity-defying noodles and rock-hard tanghulu. Plus, a flair for the dramatic at the Flower & Garden Pavilion, as green thumbs delight at the sight of floral sculptures, beautiful bonsai and silly scarecrows.
Then thrill-seekers get their adrenaline fix with Milord Entertainment Flying Fools High Dive Show, a Show favourite that witnesses towering, acrobatic dives. And the Airtime Freestyle MotoX team returns with everyone's favourite cast of daring motorcyclists!
The four-legged frenzy continued on Day 8. Dairy farmers at Riverina Fresh Working Dairy milked their cows in front of an audience, while wooly animals took centre stage with alpaca walks and sheep shearing. Plus, dairy calves strut their stuff at the Fancy Dress competition with eccentric costumes: from nurses and chick hatchlings, to fire-breathing dragons!
Towards the end of the night, Heritage Pavilion stirred up a storm with colourfully adorned distilled spirits. And back at ENGIE Stadium, hefty horses chased down heifers in a nail-biting race against the clock in World Championship Campdraft.
Roll up for Day 9: it's Showbag time! Nothing could ever beat a colourful pack of surprises to wow the kids and kids at heart - there was always a toy and treat for everyone to enjoy. Plus, it was full-house at Woodchop Stadium as woodchoppers compete in a neck-and-neck Tree Felling race. Equestrians also got their game on as horses zipped down ENGIE Stadium at Sydney Royal Horse Show's Tentpegging competition.
Capping the night was a dazzling spectacle of lights and dance with Ignite the Magic Street Parade! Bedazzled dancers and glowing inflatables captivated the Show streets with a stunning showcase of disco tunes and choreography.
Farm animals were running about on Day 10! First came a sure-footed herd of infant goats trotting across the playground, followed by the cute and cuddly Duck Slide Show. Our fancy-dressed feathered friends waddled up and down the slippery slops with the help of trustworthy canine buds. Meanwhile, galloping horses swept up dust at Schmidt Arena with Junior Polocrosse, the rugby for equines and horse enthusiasts.
And back at Gong cha Carnival, children braved the spine-tingling, blood-curdling KIIS Haunted House - a staple for both Showgoers and horror lovers! Plus, many more iconic rides and games for the friends to enjoy, including the swinging and spinning Break Dance and a carnival rendition of Deal or No Deal.
The final weekend was bursting with sizzles and shears! Easter Show staple Big Bush BBQ stocked up with classic sangas at Schmidt Arena, while pro shearers flex their shearing skills at Sheep & Fleece Pavilion. Kids and families also had the chance to sink their fingers into the newly-sheared sheep and wool. Back at the grounds, street paraders returned with a special daytime edition of Ignite the Magic, sparkling the streets with glitzy and glamorous show tunes.
At night, eager equines took over ENGIE Stadium with tense rounds of Entertainment Showjumping, followed by a trotting cast of superstars in Imagine a Horse! Hosted by fellow horseman Dave Manchon, the hooved talent painted the stage (literally) with a procession of pink and neon lights.
The Show ended with a bang! On this special Kids Day event, the young ones spent their final hours at the Show on carnival rides and games. From sunrise to sunset, children zoomed down colourful slides and rode on fast-spinning rides. And the thrills didn't stop there: street entertainer Unicycling Unicorn reached deft-defying heights on his tall and mighty unicycle - but not without the help of some fellow showgoers!
Plus, our favourite creatures soaked in the last of the limelight across the Show. Oodles of poodles, spaniels and chihuahuas spun around the ADVANCE™ Dog Pavilion at the Best in Breed Show. Animal lovers also devoted their last minutes of the Show to the donkeys at the Good Samaritan Donkey Sanctuary, alongside the small, scaly friends at the Frog and Reptile Pavilion.
Sydney Royal Easter Show will return on Friday 13 March - Wednesday 30 March 2027.
Save the date and see you next year!
