If taking toddlers, arrive at 8.30am on a weekday (not EKKA day of course). Also pack food & a thermos of your own coffee makes for a much cheaper day!
First held in 1876, the Ekka is QLD’s largest agricultural show. Held for ten days each August in Brisbane, the Ekka attracts on average 400,000 people, with more than 3,000 free things to do and see!
