Brisbanites are set free from work to rush to the Royal Queensland Show, fill themselves up with fried and sugary goodness, then brave the rides and gaze at the fireworks. If you're feeling a bit rusty about the Ekka after the event's hiatus, there's a reason that it comes with its own midweek public holiday. 'I can't see why it can't go ahead if people follow the same thing about wearing masks indoors,' said the Premier on Saturday, July 16, after advising that it is now strongly encouraged that Queenslanders wear masks indoors. But that's now just weeks away, and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has noted that even with COVID-19 cases rising in Queensland, it's still set to proceed. Since last year's Ekka was ditched due to restrictions and lockdowns, this year's has always been in the works, stretching across Saturday, August 6–Sunday, August 14. Get ready for rides, show bags, giant vegetables, cute animals and Brissie's favourite dessert: those coveted strawberry sundaes. Yes, the Royal Queensland Show, aka the Ekka, is finally set to make a comeback after its 20 events were scrapped due to the pandemic. After two years of cancellations, Brisbane Showgrounds will give the city a big winter taste of normality come August.
