The 2026 Melbourne Royal Show will be held from Thursday 24 September to Sunday 4 October at the Melbourne Showgrounds.
Some people remember the rides.
Some remember the showbags.
Others remember the animals, the fireworks, the smell of hot jam donuts, or holding someone’s hand through the crowd.
For many Victorians, the Melbourne Royal Show isn’t just an event. It’s a memory passed from one generation to the next.
Every year, thousands of families come to the Show to create moments their children will remember for the rest of their lives — just as they once did themselves.
And behind those moments is a community of volunteers who help make the magic possible.
Our volunteers are at the heart of the Show’s legacy. They assist with all aspects of the Show from greeting visitors to supporting popular activations.
They help preserve a tradition that has brought people together for generations by creating lifelong memories, bringing excitement, passion and joy to thousands of visitors each year.
