Perfect Autumn weather wraps up Agfest 2026

Nearly 56,000 people passed through the gates at this year's Agfest, with 23,714 visitors through the gates on Saturday bringing the three-day attendance to 55,703. 

Across the three days, patrons enjoyed mostly fine weather, with exhibitors reporting strong sales and all features attracting strong crowds.

“We could not have asked for a better three days, I am really proud of our team and everyone who has helped along the way to pull this incredible event off. We look forward to seeing everyone back at the park next year", Agfest Chair, Jesse Macdonald said.

TasFarmers CEO Nathan Calman said this year’s Agfest had been a standout success, with strong crowds, increased exhibitor numbers, and overwhelming community support exceeding expectations throughout the week.

“This year has blown away all expectations, and the success of Agfest is built on the dedication of Rural Youth, volunteers, exhibitors, and the wider Tasmanian agricultural community,” Mr Calman said.

“The success of Agfest comes down to the people behind it, Rural Youth, volunteers, exhibitors, and the community that continues to support Tasmanian farmers.

“This year’s event has highlighted the strength, confidence, and resilience of Tasmania’s ag sector, and we’ve seen outstanding support right across the site.

“Agfest continues to grow because of the commitment and passion of Rural Youth, who make it happen each and every year.”

Planning is already underway for next year's Agfest, which will be held from May 6-8 2027.
