FIRST ANNOUNCEMENTS REVEALED

Continuing the evolution of Canning Show as one of Perth’s premier community events, last year’s event broke audience records for the second year in a row, and conquered COVID to inspire and entertain people like never before. 2021’s LiveLighter Canning Show will elevate the joy even higher, the happening Friday 5 & Saturday 6 November at the home of the Show, Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds.

We have exciting changes and unique offerings we can’t wait to announce, but expect the best value, inspiring and fun-packed weekend to excite all ages, including Fireworks both nights, unique collaborations with partner City Of Canning to celebrate their 150th Anniversary, Sideshow Wonderland rides, Carnival games, the Stay & Play Zone, Showbags, ZAP Circus, Farmland Animals, Food World, music, face painting, pony rides, performers and much, much more.

Plus, much of it comes FREE, included with tickets!

Before we announce more and tickets go on sale, we are pleased to reveal the first brushstrokes of the Show’s colourful, fun-packed picture.

REFRESHED EXHIBITION LAUNCHES

ENTER THE EXHIBITION ONLINE

Providing a creative wonderland with community heart, Canning Show is excited to launch one of WA’s biggest, longest-running community-showcasing exhibitions on a platform allowing online entries for the first time ever. This makes it even more accessible for anyone to have a go at igniting their creativity, practising new skills or showcasing their talents, whilst potentially being rewarded in $13,000+ in cash prizes on offer, plus awards, exclusive invites and more.

Whilst regular entrants can still enter the same ways they have in the past (including printed forms and a full-colour schedule available from our office ), the fully automated platform allows people to easily enter, pay, receive reminders, and track your Show entries online. Now there are more options to exhibit something at the Show to wow all your friends and family!

THANKS TO OUR NAMING RIGHTS PARTNER

Last year we partnered with Healthway, through LiveLighter, allowing us to deliver important messages to improve people’s livelihood. Healthway’s Director Health Promotion Julia Knapton said it is exciting to continue this partnership with the Canning Show, adding, “This event provides a great opportunity to showcase how easy it is to lead healthier lifestyles.”
