What do dinosaurs, monster trucks
and fireworks all have in common? The
Ipswich Show of course!
Heading towards the busy end of
Semester One, study, assignments and
all those impending due dates can
start to become overwhelming. Time
out with friends and family can be the
best way to de-stress, and what better
way than sitting back to watch some
Demolition Derby, devour some sweet
cotton candy or get your adrenalin
pumping with some extreme rides.
Running over May 15–17, the Ipswich
Show is celebrating 142 years. There
will be FMX Motocross and dinosaur
adventures every day, and a stunning
fireworks show every night. Friday night
will see rodeo events, Saturday night
brings a Demolition Derby,
VISIT
and to finish off the
IPSWICH
weekend there will be a
SHOW SITE
Monster Trucks show on
Sunday night.
There are student and concession
prices available when you present your
Student ID card, and pre-paid tickets
are also available online.
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie
who goes straight for the biggest rides,
an art, craft or photography enthusiast
or a fan of baby farm animals, take part
in your hobbies at the Ipswich Show.
