Royal Queensland Show

Location: Brisbane Exhibition Ground
Starts: Saturday 22 August
Ends: Wednesday 26 August

Originally a chance for people to show off newly invented agricultural and industrial devices, the Royal Queensland Show, known locally as Ekka, has expanded a great deal since its inception in 1876. Attractions at Ekka include fairground rides, a Side Show Alley, animal parades, woodchopping competitions, agricultural displays and equestrian events. Side Show Alley in particular has been an integral part of the Ekka, however back in the earlier years of the Ekka, side show alley was a place for people to witness actual sideshows, such as freaks of nature, people carrying out superhuman feats of strength and illusionists performing for delighted audiences.
