History of the Perth Royal Show

Over the week we get more than 300,000 people through our show gates. The long weekend (first 3 days) is the busiest time at the Show, particularly the Public Holiday Monday. 

The first official show in Western Australia was held on 7 November 1834 and was known as the Fair and Cattle Show. By 1904 the Society which held the show was assumed the title of “The Royal Agricultural Society became incorporated. In 1905 the show moved to Claremont and more than quadrupled in attendance becoming the State’s biggest annual community event and has been growing ever since.   

 The Show was not held at various times during World War I & II and not held due to Covid in 2020.
