Prime Minister Steven Marshall has announced that the Royal Adelaide Show, scheduled for next month, has been completed.
Highlights:
- The 2021 Royal Adelaide Show has been launched as South Australia continues to have some covide restrictions
- The annual event is the second year in a row
- SA’s health care team worked closely with the organizers, but could not find a safe way to proceed.
In a press statement on Thursday morning, Mr Marshall said the decision was “deeply regretted” by the state’s level of coronavirus.
“These mass events are extremely serious,” he said.
I know there are a lot of people who are upset.
The annual event was canceled for the second year in a row.
Mr Marshall said the inability of the show operators to travel from other states was also a problem for the population.
“A lot of people are the same thing, but a lot of attractions – the trips – come from the state.
We now have really serious borders around the country, and that was not the only facilitation this year.
According to the organizers, the numbers are too low to implement the event
In a statement, the Royal Association of Agriculture and Vegetation (SAA) said that the “very limited” number of people allowed to attend mass conferences is unlikely to take place in 2021.
As you can see, this figure is not possible, so the 2021 Royal Show cannot continue.

)The Royal Adelaide Show is the state’s largest event, regularly attracting more than 50,000 people daily, as well as up to 10,000 people who work or compete every day.
The community has contributed more than $ 170 million to the South Australian economy in the past year.
Impact on businesses and charities
John Rothwell, chief executive of the Royal Association of Agriculture and Gardening, said the late cancellation would have a major impact on exhibitions and the wider community.
We are happy to be working in the 25,000 or 20,000 order, perhaps in reduced numbers, but that is not justified, so it became clear that the SS Health decision should be canceled.
The local women’s association sells the famous stones with jam and cream and runs a popular cafe at the event.

)State President Davina Kurke, for her part, said hundreds of kilograms were jammed for the event, but fortunately the company stopped ordering stone mixes and creams for the tent.
“He has blown our winds away from our sails,” she said.
We were preparing well for the work to be done.
According to SA Public Health Officer Nicola Swerrier, SA Health has been “working hand in hand” with the show community to explore ways to ensure the safety of the event.
Unfortunately, when the epidemic occurs, things can change – unpredictable.
Suffice it to say, I’m personally very upset – it’s an image movement here in South Australia.
South Australia reported no new COVID-19 cases on Thursday.
