The Show
The Easter Show is a celebration of New Zealand and all the cultures and lifestyles that make up our rich culture. Whilst the A&P Show has been going for 169 years in New Zealand, this year has been operating at ASB Showgrounds for 101 years.
The Show is also a place where town meets country and the best of our livestock, agriculture, horticulture and viticulture converge, to see who is the best in their fields.
