We had an absolutely amazing day at The Ekka! My daughter’s dance troupe had the chance to perform, which was such a proud moment, and we loved every second of cheering them on. After the show, she had a blast on the fairground rides — so much laughter and excitement! The food was delicious (definitely recommend trying a bit of everything!),also had a few cheeky craft beers and we ended the day with a stunning fireworks display that lit up the sky. Such a wonderful family day out 🎆🎡💃

Night time entertainment Started with Australian Flag paraded around the arena by horses. Bumpkin band got crowd going Seeing the horse demonstrations and sheep herding from real dogs to robotic dogs . All the action of hot wheels Monster truck Acrobatic motorbikes Car races Lady in red dress draped over the horse singing with the croad shining their phone torches made a magical show. Then the fire works display with fire twirlers capped off a fun night with the family 🌙

Brisbane EKKA - wonderful experience. It was really special to feed the farm animals, play some fairground games, pan for gems, go on some rides and eat some delicious treats food at the Showgrounds today. My 9 year old had excitement and fun around every corner. The entertainment in the centre arena was first class with leaping motorcyclists, rollerblading cowboys and showjumping. It was a drain on the wallet though, with 'Fun Credits' eroding the value of dollars and a lack of clarity on what could be 'won' at each stall so we had to be quite disciplined about our budget!

What a fabulous facility to have located where the train line is in the centre! So close to Brisbane CBD too. It's huge. Many pavilions, oval, common areas etc....definitely not enough parking for big events though. Opposite the Brisbane Women's hospital...there are plenty of toilets, walkways, shaded and seated areas.
