One of Brisbane’s largest cultural festivals is here at the RNA Brisbane Showgrounds. Located very short 8 minutes from The Kingsford Brisbane Airport.

At that time, it was brought in as an Australian equivalent to the International Exhibitions being held in the UK at the time. The event in 19876 drew around 17,000 visitors, which was considerably high for its day, but nothing compared to the 500,000 or so who come to the Ekka Show nowadays. While originally the show’s purpose was to display agricultural and industrial products of the city and region, the event has expanded to included many different aspects. Check out the animal nursery, the fashion shows, live musical performances and even taste the iconic strawberry sundae.
