The Ekka

Overview

The Ekka has rolled around for another year to fill our city with fun, frivolity and fairy floss. All of the things we love about The Royal Queensland Show are back for 10 days - the ferris wheel, delicious strawberry sundaes, nightly fireworks, hoards of cute baby animals, Bertie Beetle show bags and wood chopping competitions. Can't you just smell the Dagwood Dogs already?

Highlights of this year's show include a performance by Australian rockers Eskimo Joe and the immensely talented Ten Tenors. The usual attractions have returned including Sideshow Alley's stomach-churning thrill rides, fashion parades and Animal Boulevard.

The sights, sounds and smells of the carnival come to town only once a year so be sure to soak up the atmosphere at the RNA Showgrounds and spoil yourself to a delightful day.
