Emerald Showgrounds

Council-owned showgrounds on the Capricorn Highway at the western edge of Emerald, backing onto the Emerald Saleyards, and home of the annual Emerald Agricultural Show run by the Emerald Show Society since 1913. Facilities include a rodeo arena, show ring and sports oval, stabling, stockyards, pavilions, catering facilities, a bar and powered campsites. Camping is only permitted for travellers resting animals overnight or for events at the grounds, and overnight stabling must be arranged with the caretaker at least 48 hours ahead.
