2026 Show Theme – Fields of the Future – Innovate, Cultivate, Celebrate
Fields of the Future celebrates the people, ideas and innovations shaping agriculture across the Atherton Tablelands during this UN International Year of the Woman Farmer. This theme honours the region’s diverse agricultural history while spotlighting the creativity, sustainability and forward‑thinking approaches that will carry our rural communities into the next generation. It recognises the leadership of women across farming, food production and creative industries, and invites visitors to explore how local knowledge, new technology and community collaboration are transforming the way we grow, make and share.
Meet the Growers
Meet the Growers connects visitors directly with the farmers, producers and horticulturalists who bring the Tablelands to life. It’s an opportunity to learn, taste, ask questions and celebrate the skill and passion behind our region’s produce.

Join us at the Atherton Show, where between 6,500 to 9,000 people pass through the gates over two massive days of fun, food, and festivities!
