Goulburn Show Society president Jacki Waugh confirmed the event is going ahead next year on March 6-7 pending COVID-19 restrictions at the time.
"There is a bit of uncertainty due to COVID-19 cases emerging. Hopefully, things will look a lot better next year," she said.
"It will be a show different from the previous years with social distancing practices in place keeping the pandemic in mind."
Running since 1880, the Goulburn AP&H Society held its first public meeting in the Municipal Chambers at 4pm on March 24, 1880.
This year, it will have a range of attractions including arts and craft, wood-chopping and the animal-farm nursery to name a few. The Pavilion will also have the finest artwork, fruit, quilting, flowers and vegetables.
It may also include various competitions including Woodchop, Young Farmers Challenge, Showgirl/Showman and Speedshear.
Goulburn Show is put together by a team of volunteers. "We are currently looking for volunteers who can help organise the show as well," she said.
Meanwhile, the Goulburn Agriculture, Pastoral and Horticulture Society Inc has received a funding boost of $2500 from Goulburn Mulwaree Council this year.
The council allocated the funds to Goulburn AP&H Society as financial assistance would be required for a possible online ticketing management system, COVID marshals, extra cleaners and cleaning supplies, distancing and other signage and additional gate controls to name a few.
It further recommended an additional consideration of $2500 may be given after the expenses are shown following the 2021 Goulburn Show.
