The Ekka is scheduled to take place in 2011 from August 11 to 20.
It's Queensland's largest annual even with more than 600,000 visitors each year. The Ekka's official name is the Royal Queensland Show. It's also known as The Exhibition. If you're wondering about the term ekka, that's short for exhibition.
August 17th is Ekka Day which is a public holiday in Brisbane. The Royal Queensland Show is held yearly by the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland (RNA) and celebrates Queensland lifestyle, industry and heritage in a meeting of country and city.
The Ekka is both a festive, carnival-style event with sideshows, showbags, thrill rides and food stalls with a wide-ranging agricultural exhibition including arts, crafts, farm animals and birds and the fruits of the land.
