Queensland Regional Show Holidays 2026 – Early Release Dates

Important Note: Some of the dates shown below are not 100% confirmed. We have made assumptions with some of the dates below as they tend to be on certain dates each year, or dates that correspond with the relevant show.

The majority of regional show and local public holidays are yet to be released. Council / govt tend to release them later in the year, or even early into the new year.

We have created the early release dates due to a high amount of public demand. Please check back in the new year for updated information.
