Brisbane Showgrounds

The Brisbane Showgrounds is a world-class events and lifestyle precinct. Home to the state-of-the-art Royal International Convention Centre – Australia’s only Green Globe certified convention centre, Rydges Fortitude Valley is located just a minutes’ walk from the Showgrounds, directly across the road.

The Showgrounds have always been the hotspot for conventions, exhibitions, charity events, fun fairs and of course, the well-loved Royal Queensland Show (Ekka). The Ekka showcases its unique tradition and heritage by bringing together the city and the country for a long awaited once-a-year event. On average 400,000 people gather to see thousands of exhibits, world-class entertainment and 10,000 animals, and to taste award-winning food and wine.
