About Us

We acknowledge the Turrbul and Jagera nations, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we operate and pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.

Brookfield Show Society is a not-for-profit community group that oversees a number of annual events at Brookfield Showgrounds. Whilst we are best known for Brookfield Show, other calendar dates including Long Lunch, Harvest, Bush Christmas, Australia Day, Melbourne Cup, ANZAC Day and of course the weekly Friday Bar nights are also successful in the local community.

In 1879, Brookfield Pullenvale and Moggill Farmers’ Association, the predecessor to Brookfield Show Society, was founded. The “Show Society” was organised in 1905 with the intention of publicising the local district and produce.

Brookfield Show, first held in 1910, has remained popular in South East Queensland. In 1980, innovation of a Friday “District Day” saw the format expand to three days, with an average of over 10,000 attendees recorded in recent years.

The Brookfield and District Community Award, established in 2007, is presented at Brookfield Show to an outstanding local individual.

We also support Brookfield District Museum.

Brookfield Show Society’s MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE consists of forty volunteers from the local area. The level of commitment demonstrated by each person is a testament to the region’s thriving community spirit.
