Melbourne Royal is proudly celebrating many remarkable milestones in 2023. We celebrate 175 years since Melbourne Royal was first formed, 140 years since events at Melbourne Showgrounds were first introduced, and 30 years since the Australian International Beer Awards were first held.

Melbourne Royal invites you and your family and friends to attend our 175th Celebration Gala Dinner to be held on Saturday, 1 April 2023 at 6:30pm, Victoria Pavilion, Melbourne Showgrounds.

The countdown is underway with just six months until the opening day of the 2023 Melbourne Royal Show and interest and enthusiasm is building. There is nothing like the thrill and excitement of winning a coveted Melbourne Royal blue ribbon and in 2023 it will be even more special with commemorative ribbons and prizes being presented in celebration of 175 years of Melbourne Royal.
