Big Bush BBQ

The Big Bush BBQ is a celebration of community spirit, bringing local agricultural show societies from across the state to one of Australia’s biggest stages, the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Each year, local show societies fire up the grill to showcase their pride, passion, and country hospitality. More than just a barbecue, this is an opportunity to share your region’s story, raise funds for your society, and be part of an iconic Easter Show tradition that connects city and country. Thanks to the generous support of the RAS Foundation and Woolworths, participation in the Big Bush BBQ comes at no cost to the show society, making it an incredible opportunity to promote your community and raise vital funds without the burden of expenses.

We’re now inviting show societies from across New South Wales to apply for a spot in the 2026 Big Bush BBQ. This is your chance to bring your community’s flavour to Sydney, meet thousands of visitors, and celebrate the role local shows play in keeping rural traditions alive. Submit your application form today for your chance to be a part of the 2026 Big Bush BBQ at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
