Regional show-day holidays are not in the tables above, because they are gazetted by region rather than statewide. The 2027 dates for the main ones are on their own pages: the Ekka public holiday (Brisbane area only, 11 August 2027), Darwin Show Day (23 July 2027), the Royal Launceston Show (7 October 2027), the Royal Hobart Regatta (8 February 2027), Canberra Day (8 March 2027) and Melbourne Cup Day (2 November 2027). Tasmania has nine regional holidays in total, and the southern set is listed on Hobart public holidays.
Dates are subject to government proclamation and may change. Each state calendar links to its official government source. Looking for time off? See long weekends in Australia.
