The Huon Show or Huon Agricultural Show is an annual agricultural show running from 1947 to 2019 & since 2022,[1] located at Ranelagh Showgrounds in Ranelagh in the Huon Valley, Tasmania, Australia.[2] It attracts around 13,000 visitors yearly, featuring a range of attractions including a large local produce section, exhibition livestock including a large Alpaca section,[3] flower competitions,[4] and over 102 stalls by local businesses.[5] It is held on the second Saturday of every November,[6] though it used to be held on 8 December,[1] which was for some time a bank holiday for residents of the Huon Valley.[7]
This show was on hiatus in 2020-21 because of COVID-19 pandemic, but it returned in 2022.[citation needed]
Marion Woodward has served as assistant secretary and then secretary of the show since 1967.[8]
