The Kiama Show Society Management Committee has made the decision to postpone the 2021 Kiama Show, which was to be held on Saturday 23 January, to an as yet unknown date.

In making this decision, the Committee considered the impact of Covid-19 and the possible risks to the Kiama community, its members, competitors, stallholders, visitors and the many volunteers involved in delivering the Show at this time.

“Our primary obligation is the safety of our community and everyone involved in the Show,” says Kiama Show Society President Neil McLaren.

“The Management Committee will keep the community updated on a future event as decisions are made.

“We appreciate the support of everyone and realise the disappointment many will feel but our community’s safety comes first.”

COVID restrictions had already reduced the Show to one day this year, and resulted in the number of categories for entries being cut due to space concerns.

The postponement was a particularly hard decision, given the cancellation of the 2020 Show due to bushfire concerns.
