The quality and breadth of the facilities at Maryborough Showgrounds and Equestrian Park make it one of the most exciting and versatile venues of its kind in Australia.

It hosts numerous festivals, community activities, exhibitions and equestrian events each year. The purpose-designed 105-hectare reserve is divided into two major areas: the first accommodates the exhibition halls, stadiums, arenas, camping sites and other buildings; the second is bushland for cross-country, trail riding and outdoor recreation.

The complex is very well supported by the infrastructure of nearby cities (Hervey Bay, Maryborough and Bundaberg) including catering, accommodation and hire services capable of supporting even the largest event.

By road: 3 kms north of the Maryborough CBD, 114 kms south of Bundaberg, 213 kms north of Caboolture and 254 kms north of Brisbane
