A genuinely cool fact about the Berrigan Agricultural Show is that in 1983 it hosted the Australian Showjumping Championship. Berrigan earned the remarkable distinction of being the smallest town in the world to host a World Cup qualifying showjumping event.

That is a huge achievement for a small Riverina community—and a great example of how much history and pride sits behind the show. The first Berrigan Show was held in 1891, and the event is preparing to celebrate its 126th annual show on 4 October 2026
