Show season is in full swing with a hugely successful Nimbin Show wrapping up at 5 yesterday afternoon.

Crowds were estimated at 5000 which was well up on last year, this left organisers understandably happy about this years event.

Organiser David Fawkner said "we were really pleased with how the weekend went in our 100th year".

"The crowds were up 50% on last year", he added.

Nimbin matriarchs Phylis Williams, Daisy Stewart and Jean Stephens (104) cut the cake to mark the 100th Nimbin Show.

The Nimbin Show committee will meet in the next few weeks to discuss the merits of free entry to the 2020 Nimbin Show as they look forward to the next 100 years.

The increased numbers caused a few traffic issues on Saturday which will be sorted for the 2020 Nimbin Show. However, more people also meant stallholders and amusement operators left happier with increased sales.

Now we look forward to the 2019 Lismore Show on Thursday October 17, Friday October 18 and Saturday October 19.

What can we expect this year?

Attracting an audience spoilt for choice is one of the main reasons that Lismore Show Secretary, Mark Bailey, slashed gate prices in 2018. Kids were able to get in for free.  "I was lucky to have a commercially minded Board who got the marketing approach that I adopted" Mr Bailey said.    



The 2018 Show saw one of the biggest crowds in recent times, even though the Thursday was washed out.  

Tickets for this year's Lismore Show are now on sale. Adults are $15 per day, kids are free.   "It is really the best value for money. You get over $140,000 worth of entertainment, a community stage featuring groups like the LIMELOCKERS and a Fireworks Spectacular that is one of the best around" Mr Bailey added.
