Organisers of this year’s Bairnsdale Agricultural Show have announced that preparations are officially underway for the event, with the official show schedule set to circulate across East Gippsland shortly.
With the long-standing agricultural show returning to the local calendar on Saturday, November 7, residents are being encouraged to start preparing their entries across all competitive sections.
The early release of the schedule allows local crafters, artists, growers and bakers ample time to plan, gather materials and refine their creations.
Competitive sections open for entry this year include art and photography; craft and handiwork; baking and home cooking; farm and garden produce.
Physical copies of the 2026 Show Schedule will soon be available at various Bairnsdale businesses, community hubs and local libraries.
For those who prefer digital access, the full program and entry guidelines will also be uploaded to the official Bairnsdale Show website, as well as its Facebook and Instagram pages.
The competition is open to all skill levels – whether you are a seasoned exhibitor chasing a blue ribbon or a first-time participant looking to support a beloved community tradition, the show provides a welcoming platform to display your skills.
With spring just around the corner, now is the ideal time to check category requirements, start potting up plants, planning craft projects, or practicing baking recipes.
