What's on
One day, from the show halls at nine in the morning to the last bus after dark.
The Uraidla Show is one of the Adelaide Hills’ most loved annual events. Each year the showgrounds fill for a full day and evening of animals, show rides, market stalls, competitions, food and entertainment.
It is run entirely by volunteers, backed by local members and sponsors, It was named South Australian Community Event of the Year in 2016, and Event of the Year by the Adelaide Hills Council in 2023. It is a community effort in the truest sense, and you are very welcome to be part of it.
Stay for the evening
The show does not stop when the halls close. The entertainment runs into the evening, the food stalls and the bar keep going, and the last shuttle bus leaves the showground at 9:30pm. Plenty of people make a day and a night of it.
