You’re all invited to the 2019 Annual Killarney Show. Here we are again celebrating our community, our traditions, our friendships and enjoying some friendly competition.
At the Killarney Annual Show each year, we celebrate all the agricultural aspects and achievements of the community while enjoying companionship with regular friends and those we only seem to run into each year at the Show. The Show is also a great time to welcome visitors to our community.

For the kids…
Throughout the day there will be face painting, our regular roving clown and of course everyone’s old favourite Side Show Alley. There will be a fantastic kids’ area outside the pavilion with lots of different activities and unusual exhibits.
This year we will have Little Picasso’s Plaster where children will be able to paint their own plaster creation or purchase a kit to take home. On Friday night, early in the evening, there will be the Kids Ping Pong Ball Grab, (chance to win 1 pushbike + other prizes) sponsored by Warwick Ice. All ages up to Primary School age invited to participate.

The Killarney Show Society has pleasure in presenting The Kent Saddlery Outback Riders at 2.45pm in the Rodeo Arena and again during the night program.
