Where COmmunity comes to life

Welcome to CAHRS

At the Canning Agricultural, Horticultural & Recreational Society (CAHRS), we’ve been bringing people together since 1909 as the proud organisers behind the iconic Canning Show.

With strong community roots and a future-focused spirit, CAHRS delivers events, workshops, and cultural experiences that celebrate tradition, spark creativity, and foster meaningful connections. Whether it’s through hands-on learning, vibrant showcases, or local collaborations, we’re here to grow community, together.

Where Magic Meets Community

The Canning Show

The Canning Show is one of WA’s most vibrant community celebrations, bringing together tradition, creativity, and connection. Held annually at the Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds, it showcases the best of agricultural displays, competitions, live entertainment, food, fireworks, and family fun. With deep roots dating back to 1909, the Canning Show continues to evolve, offering something for everyone while celebrating community spirit, local talent, and the joy of coming together.
