Entertainment

 

At the Perth Royal Show, entertainment isn’t just on one stage. It’s everywhere.

Across eight days, the Show comes alive with performances, surprises and moments that make you stop and smile — whether you’re in the Main Arena or just wandering with a showbag in hand.

Main Arena

Open from 10:00am to 8:30pm

The Main Arena is the heart of the action, and during the day, it’s all about big skills, working animals, and classic Show tradition.

See beautifully presented horses compete in a range of events, from breed classes to show jumping and performance trials. Watch sheepdogs in action just like you’ve seen on Muster Dogs, cheer on competitors in the Grand Parade, and catch special performances tied to our themed days. It’s the best seat in the house for all things country, competition and community.

When night falls, the Main Arena shifts gears and the energy ramps up.

From motorbike stunts and high-diving performers, the evening show is designed to dazzle. Add drone displays, performances and fireworks that close out the day with a bang, and you’ve got a full-blown night-time spectacle. Stay late. It’s worth it.

Stages

Little Growers Stage

Open from 10:00am to 5:00pm

Late Night Woody's

Open from 8:30pm to late
