The Tullamore PA & H Association Inc. Annual show, or Tullamore Show, is a two-day [2] agricultural and livestock show held on the second Saturday of August each year near the township of Tullamore, New South Wales. [3] [4] The 2021 edition was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, [3] and the PA & H was one of a group of agricultural societies to receive organisational support from the national Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment. [5] [6] There were also no shows in 1940–45.
