The North Otago A&P Association has been bringing country to town for over 100 years, with a mix of heritage and progress displayed in one location for all to come and enjoy

 

The North Otago A&P Association is looking forward to our next show.

It will be held at the A&P showground's, Ettrick Street, Oamaru, and I believe is one of the top five shows in the South Island. We are the second oldest show in New Zealand

Our show night on the Friday night is especially popular with families and the young people of the district.

It is supported by the whole community and is enjoyed by all competitors, spectators and trade exhibitors. Gate entrants are estimated at around 7,000. The show is supported by over 100 trade space exhibitors with a wide and varied range of commodities.

The North Otago A&P show is a great fun day for all the family.
