About
Our story
Run by volunteers, for the Riverland, every September since 1958.
Since 1958
From 26 exhibitors to more than 500
The Riverland Field Days is the region's premier agricultural and horticultural showcase. It began in 1958 with just 26 exhibitors and by its 50th year in 2007 had grown to over 500, a story told in the history book Outstanding in Their Field, published to mark the occasion. Copies are $15 plus postage from the office.
Today the Field Days offers farmers, growers and agricultural professionals the latest in machinery, irrigation, livestock management and crop technology, and gives everyone else a full day of home and garden ideas, caravans, boats, cars, lifestyle products, food and entertainment.
The event is owned and run by Riverland Field Days Inc., a volunteer committee of local growers, farmers and business people, with a full-time Manager at the Riverland Events Centre in Barmera.
