The Royal Adelaide Show is an annual carnival and agricultural show run by the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia. It is held at the Adelaide Showground, a dedicated venue located in Wayville, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.
Core to the show are the competitive entries, such as livestock, pets, arts, food, beverages, and displays of skill. The show features entries in 63 competitive sections, and attracts over 31,000 entries annually.[1][2] In addition, the show features entertainment, exhibitors, sideshows, rides, and showbags. It is attended by up to half a million people every year,[1] making it the state's biggest event. It is also regarded as "the longest running event on the South Australian calendar".[3]
