Fieldays is the largest agricultural event in the Southern Hemisphere and one of New Zealand's most significant annual gatherings, held each June at Mystery Creek Events Centre near Hamilton in the heart of the Waikato. Over four days, it brings together farmers, growers, agribusiness professionals, rural communities and visitors from across New Zealand and around the world to celebrate, explore and do business across every aspect of the country's primary industries.
New Zealand's agricultural sector is the backbone of the national economy, and Fieldays is its great annual gathering — a place where the latest machinery, technology, research and innovation meets the traditions, values and community spirit of rural New Zealand. The event features hundreds of exhibitors, live demonstrations, competitions, entertainment and the kind of genuine hospitality that characterises the farming communities of the Waikato and beyond.
For visitors, Fieldays offers a fascinating window into a side of New Zealand that is easy to overlook from the cities — the farms, the land and the people whose work feeds the country and earns much of its export income. Whether you come for the machinery, the food, the competitions or simply the experience of one of the country's great community events, a day at Fieldays is a genuinely New Zealand experience.
