Sydney Royal Easter Show 2025
Australia's largest ticketed event returns to Sydney Olympic Park from Friday 11 April – Tuesday 22 April 2025.
Over this 12 day period, the Park is expected to be extremely busy, as we welcome upwards of 800,000 visitors daily. During this time, there will also be other major events happening here, including concerts, sporting matches, and more.

To support these events, there will be some changes to Park access and parking, as well as road closures starting from Friday 28 March, with access restored starting from Thursday 1 May (see details below). These are to assist with pedestrian safety, set up and staging of the events, as well as managing the traffic flow in and around the Park, particularly during peak times.
