There is nothing quite like the Grand Parade to set the tone for the Maleny Agricultural Show. On Friday afternoon, the Official Opening and Livestock Grand Parade brought the showgrounds to a standstill — featuring the 5th Light Horse Regiment Maleny Troop, show personalities, ambassadors and the community coming together in a moment of genuine pride. It was a reminder of what this show stands for and why it has been part of Maleny life since 1922.

Saturday's Grand Parade at 1:30pm carried that same energy — show personalities and ambassadors paraded before a packed crowd, celebrating the agricultural traditions and community spirit that make this event so special. Our Maleny Agricultural Show 2026 Showgirls and Rural Ambassadors represented our region with grace and pride across both days, and we couldn't be more proud of each of them.

The Main Pavilion was a showcase of incredible talent and effort across both days of the show. From the Upper Level General Pavilion Displays to the Farm Produce and School Displays on the Lower Level, every exhibit told a story of skill, creativity and community pride.

Our Cake Decorating, Handicraft, Quilting and creative arts entries were stunning — the level of detail and craftsmanship on display never fails to impress. The Lego entries brought out the inner child in everyone who walked past, and the Farm Produce section was a wonderful celebration of what our hinterland region grows and produces so well.

The MACG Building — Maleny Arts and Crafts Display and Sales — was a wonderful space that drew steady crowds across both days, celebrating local artistic talent and giving visitors the chance to take a piece of Maleny home with them.

To every exhibitor who entered — well done. Your entries are the heart of this show, and we thank you for the effort and care you put into every single one. The full Pavilionresults are available now at Showday.online — head there to see how you placed.

Country Stars Australia was one of the standout highlights of the Maleny Agricultural Show 2026, and this year the talent on the Entertainment Oval was nothing short of exceptional.

Friday's Semi Finals set the stage — rising country music performers delivered powerful sets that had crowds gathering from all corners of the showgrounds. The energy was building, and by Grand Final Day on Saturday it was electric. A full day of live country music, emotion and extraordinary performances had the Entertainment Oval packed from morning to close.

Congratulations to our 2026 winners — Cooper Lane, Country Stars Winner; Chris Cobb, Runner Up; and Maddie Cail, recipient of the Matt Perin Development Award. Every single artist who performed this weekend gave everything they had, and we are so proud to have provided a stage for the next generation of Australian country music talent. We thank Country Stars Australia for their ongoing partnership with the Maleny Agricultural Show.

The trade vendor precinct was one of the most vibrant parts of the showgrounds across both days, with a brilliant and diverse range of local, regional and national businesses bringing their products, services and passion to Maleny.

From the Exhibition Hall and Grounds Trade Displays to the food and drink stalls and the bustling Sideshow Alley, there was something to discover at every turn. The Cattleman's Bar was a popular gathering spot throughout both days, and the energy across the vendor precinct from gates open to close was fantastic.

The Shop Window Dressing Competition extended the show spirit right into the heart of Maleny town. Congratulations to Gone Bonkers Discounts — first place, Maleny Jewellers — second place, and Rosetta Books — third place. Thank you to every business that got involved and made our town part of the celebration.

To every trade vendor, stallholder and food and drink operator who set up at the Maleny Agricultural Show 2026 — thank you. Your presence brings energy, variety and community spirit to the grounds, and we are grateful for your participation year after year.

Every show has its special stories, and 2026 had a particularly beautiful one. Our bride and groom from last year's show returned to celebrate their first wedding anniversary at the Maleny Agricultural Show. Congratulations Matt and Meg — that is exactly the kind of story that reminds us why this show matters so much to so many people.
