Canning Show

The Canning Show returns in 2026 with a bold new energy, and we can’t wait to see you there!

This year, we’re celebrating the theme of ‘Growing in the Orchard.’ Look closely at the orchard! Be inspired by the colours, flavours, and textures you see, from the rough, gnarled bark and the buzzing life in the blossoms to the split-second of a falling fruit.

Beyond the beauty, the theme highlights the abundance of our community, the importance of nurturing our talents, and the rewarding harvest that comes from working together and tending to our roots.

Across two huge days, the Canning Show will come alive with a diverse program. You can expect free kids’ activities, live music, interactive displays, the iconic exhibition, sideshow alley and plenty of unexpected surprises.

Backed by over 110 years of tradition the Canning Show continues to evolve, reimagining what a community event can be while staying true to its roots.

Join us as we celebrate the past, embrace the future, and shape the next chapter of the Canning Show together.
