 The Caboolture Show celebrated its 84th year with a bang! Growing stronger each year, the show brought the community together in a weekend of celebrations and showcasing the best of the best.

The weather set aside its chill for a day, the sun was shining and instead of rain, it was the crowds that were pouring in. Friday saw the show start with style with people coming from all over the country to experience what Caboolture had to offer.

Fridays festivities commenced at 8am with traditional favourites such as horses, displays, farm animals and rides. Activities continued into the night with Barrel Racing and fireworks.
