In 1911, a Kilcoy residents formed an agricultural, pastoral and industrial society due to the growth in the district. An area of land on the eastern side of the township and Kilcoy Creek was cleared and the first annual show was held there in 1912. The show was so successful that a larger area of ground was required. A reserve area between Sheep Station Creek and Menzies Lagoon west of the town was available. It was heavily timbered, but the Show Society was undaunted. Volunteers cleared the timber, erected a pavilion for produce, a ring for horse events and for a grand parade. They built stalls for dairy cattle, poultry cages, kennels for dogs, a luncheon room and a liquor bar. The first show on the new site was held in 1918, where the show continues to be held today. Various circumstances necessitated the show being cancelled over the years including floods, but the 100th show was celebrated in May 2023.
