Foster Show 2025

The Foster Show is located in Foster, the gateway to Wilsons Promontory. In its 117th year, The Foster Show showcases the region’s agriculture and brings the community, and people from afar, together for a true country show experience.

The dog high jump has everyone on the edge of their seats in the grandstand, while the best jams, cakes, home-grown vegetables and crafts are evaluated for prizes in the exhibit shed. Goats and sheep are magnificently on display, with a local shearer demonstrating how to shear the wool, which gets taken directly to volunteers spinning and utilising the wool to make clothing. The spectacular sights do not stop there, with woodchop, sheaf tossing, the pet parade – where we had some great fancy dress in 2024, the poultry competition, the Young Farmers’ Challenge, horse events, photography, art, rides, and even giant pumpkins breaking records of 85.9kg in 2024 grown by Alana and Liam Sage.

In 2025, the Foster Show is excited to announce new features to the program. The inaugural Calf Classic will showcase poddy calves that

have been hand-reared since Spring, 2024. This event will pay homage to the Calf Club competitions held in Hedley in the 1960s. The Foster Show looks forward to encouraging the next generation to develop husbandry and management skills with animals, as well as highlighting the human-animal bond with their calves. At the end of the Avenue of Agriculture you will find Ferret Racing! An addition to the 2025 show, 25 ferrets will race throughout the day with one winner to be crowned the SG Offroad Ferret Cup Fastest Ferret. A new highlight to the very popular Foster Show Fashion Stage, the Mullet Competition is sure to turn heads.

A family friendly event, the Foster Show has lots of free things to see and do on show day. There will be 300 free showbags as part of the Golden Brick Road Showbag trail, magic shows, wildlife display, petting zoo, face-painting, animals on show, chainsaw carving, and dancing displays just to name a few. Spending the day at the Foster Show is a fantastic way to experience a farming community, with lots of fun and friendly faces. We’ll see you there!

Summer in South Gippsland is spectacular, and there is no better way to celebrate the end of summer than a trip to the Foster & District Agricultural Show.
