The Dubbo Show returns from Friday May 22 through to Sunday May 24, bringing three huge days of action-packed entertainment, competition and family fun to the showground.
At the heart of the weekend is the Golden Axe Woodchopping Carnival, running across two days and showcasing some of the best woodchoppers in the country. Add in top-level shearing competitions, the circuit final, and yard dog trials, and there’s no shortage of classic country show action.
Friday night also features harness racing, setting the tone for a massive weekend ahead.
Big Arena Highlights
Saturday is one of the biggest days on the program, headlined by the Grand Parade, along with the official opening and presentations for the Dubbo Show Young Woman and Rural Achiever competitions.
Across the weekend, the centre arena will also feature:
The Young Farmers Challenge
Six Bar Showjumping
The Supreme Show Exhibit
The Goongunyah Shield Interschool Competition
Then when the sun goes down Saturday night, things shift up a gear with Airtime Freestyle Motocross, followed by a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the Dubbo sky.
Sunday keeps the energy high with more motocross action and the always popular Demolition Derby.
Toyota Raffle
The Dubbo Show Toyota Raffle is open now, with tickets priced at $50 and giving entrants the chance to win their choice of a brand new Toyota Hilux or Kluger.

Boardy’s Bar Comes Alive
