Borroloola Show Day
Friday, August 14, 2026
The Borroloola Show is one of the smallest in the Northern Territory. The public holiday has historically been held on last Friday in June, but will be held on the third Friday of August from 2021 onwards. It is a holiday for the documented region around Borroloola. Borroloola has barely a population of 1000 people, and is about 50 km by river from the ocean at the Gulf of Carpentaria. The town is located on the Katherine to Normanton section of an adventure drive known as the Savannah Way, and this sometimes brings more visitors, especially fishermen and retiree holidaymakers, to the show.
