Celebrate Shire Heritage at the Noosa Country Show

Published on 05 September 2025

Noosa Council will add colour, creativity and connection to the Noosa Country Show on 12 and 13 September at the Pomona Showgrounds, with a marquee full of activities, giveaways, and demonstrations.

Located left of the main entrance gate, the Council marquee offers locals everything from free plants and creative workshops to expert advice and prizes.

Noosa Mayor Frank Wilkie said Council’s presence at the show reflects its respect for the shire’s agricultural heritage and commitment to community connection.

“The Noosa Country Show has been running for 115 years and gives us all an opportunity to respect and appreciate the essential work of rural producers,” Cr Wilkie said.

“Events like this are another way for us to listen, share and celebrate with our community.”

Visitors can get involved in art activities hosted by the Noosa Regional Gallery team, learn about food safety and water testing with Environmental Health officers and discover native plants and wildlife through engaging displays.

The Noosa Library team will also be at the Showgrounds with the Library bus, Seed Library, and Heritage Library.

“There’ll be hands-on demos, free passes to Noosa Aquatic Centre and Noosa Leisure Centre and a chance to win a Council prize pack featuring comedy tickets from The J and dinner vouchers,” said Public Relations Officer Heather Williams.

“Bring an empty coffee cup and we’ll fill it with soil and a free plant,” Ms Williams said.

“We’ll also have a special feature on safety and prevention of fire ants and plenty of helpful resources for the upcoming storm season, including our Emergency Action Guides.”

Visitors to the Council marquee can connect with the Local Laws team and meet their popular dog-safety mascot, ‘Butch’. There’ll also be opportunities to learn about the draft Destination Management Plan (DMP) and share your thoughts to help shape Noosa’s future.

Traditional country show treats like dagwood dogs and fairy floss will be nearby, adding to the festive atmosphere.
