The Camden Show A Legacy of Community, Agriculture, and Celebration The Camden Show, founded by the Camden Show Society in 1886, has flourished as a cherished event celebrating the region’s excellence in agriculture, horticulture, and industry through competition, exhibition, and entertainment. Since the 1986 centenary, our motto ‘Still a Country Show’ has reflected Camden’s authentic rural spirit, making it one of New South Wales’ premier regional shows. Each year, over 48,000 visitors gather for an eclectic event that brings the country to the city—featuring animal exhibits, exciting competitions, arena displays, Sideshow Alley, artisan stalls, and commercial showcases over two big days of family fun. Beyond the annual Show, the Camden Show Society hosts several key events that enrich our community and youth engagement. These include the Show Ball, an elegant celebration of community spirit; the Young Woman of the Year competition, empowering young women in agriculture; and the Camden Agricultural Youth Expo, a hands-on educational experience for school students in areas like livestock handling, animal health, and biosecurity. Our commitment extends to agricultural education for over 4,500 students annually, with a focus on livestock, food production, and farming practices. Driven by a committee of 55 volunteers, the Show Society upholds its mission to promote excellence in agriculture, provide community-wide education, and encourage youth engagement in agricultural industries. Through our sponsors and community partnerships, the Camden Show continues to provide two big days of family fun while celebrating Camden’s rich heritage and vibrant future in the heart of the Macarthur region. Camden Show FRIDAY 12th & SATURDAY 13th March 2027 History Facts There is a long history behind the Camden Show. In 2011 we celebrated our 125th Anniversary and a commemorative book was made. To purchase a copy contact the Show Office. Our motto “Still a Country Show” which was introduced in 1986. The First Show The first Camden Show was held on Wednesday 17th, Thursday 18th and Friday 19th March 1886. The First President & Committee Mr J.K. Chisholm became the first Show President serving till 1908. The 184 show members voted to form the first committee of 25 people, which started the preparations for the show. The Grounds In 1886 the ground had to be prepared with the building of the AH & I Hall to house exhibits, and a structure to house a Publicans Booth. Permanent milking bails and a fodder room were erected in 1902. Also in 1902 the Camden Cycle Club asked for permission to build a cycle track around the showground oval. Official Opening The Camden Show was officially opened in 1903 by His Excellency, Sir Harry Rawson, Governor of NSW. The First Schedule The show schedule consisted of dairy and beef cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, poultry, grain and root, vegetables, jams, needlework and flowers. Machinery began to show its influence in the dairying industry by including classes for an ice making machine, a separator and a churn for dairy purposes. In the same section classes were provided for a wagon, spring cart and a tip dray made within the electorate. Saddlery added a collection of whips, and a section for wines appeared. The Effects of War Many changes were brought about in 1915 due to the outbreak of World War I. The President A.J Onslow-Thompson joined the Australian Forces and was killed at Gallipolli. Furthermore, many committee men also went to war, leaving a determined few, who dealt with the impossible and made sure the 1915 show went ahead as usual. The 1940 show was overshadowed by the outbreak of World War II. The Hall was used for V.A.D. Detachment for drill training and for R.A.A.F. and Army personnel. The Camden Show Committee was reformed in 1945, to continue with the Society’s functions as they had before the war. Transport During the early 1900′s you were able to catch the train to Camden Show. Special trains ran from and returned to Campbelltown up untill the outbreak of World War II. Not long after, the train to Camden was discontinued.
