ABOUT US
The Yorke Peninsula Field Days is one of South Australia's premier agricultural events, bringing together farmers, industry leaders, businesses and communities from across the region and beyond.
Established in 1894 through the efforts of local Agricultural Bureau members, the Field Days has grown from a small local gathering into a major biennial event attracting hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors. For more than 130 years, the organisation has remained committed to showcasing innovation in agriculture while supporting the communities that underpin regional South Australia.
Held at our purpose-built 60-hectare site at Paskeville, the Yorke Peninsula Field Days is a not-for-profit organisation, driven by volunteers and supported by members who share a passion for agriculture, innovation and regional development. Beyond the event itself, the organisation manages facilities and initiatives that support community engagement, education and the ongoing advancement of the agricultural sector.
Today, the Yorke Peninsula Field Days continues to honour its proud history while looking to the future, providing a platform where agriculture, business and community come together to learn, connect and grow.
