Goulburn Show Society president Jacki Waugh called the event a "huge success".
"People were waiting for events like these so they could go out again and be a part of it," she said.
The attendance this year was 55 per cent more as compared to last year.
The sheep showing event made a comeback this year where sheep of different breeds were judged by the judges.
"The event was popular and was very well attended. We had over 130 sheep that came from different areas. After the success this year, we plan to continue with this event next year as well," she added.
Running since 1880, the Goulburn AP&H Society held its first public meeting in the Municipal Chambers at 4pm on March 24, 1880.
The annual event is put together by a team of volunteers.
Every year, thousands of people from Goulburn and other areas travel to the city to attend the show.
This year, it had a range of attractions including arts and craft, wood-chopping and the animal-farm nursery to name a few. The pavilion also had the finest artwork, fruit, quilting, flowers and vegetables.
Earlier, the Goulburn Agriculture, Pastoral and Horticulture Society Inc received a funding boost of $2500 from Goulburn Mulwaree Council.
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.
