PRIMEX Field Days will relocate from Casino to Lismore in 2026.<\/p>\n

The three-day exhibition attracts more than 400 exhibitors, 1,400 suppliers and around 30,000 visitors, covering sectors from agriculture and forestry to fishing and natural resources.<\/p>\n

It also showcases food and primary production through producers, chefs, educators and innovators.<\/p>\n

Organisers said the move reflects Lismore’s recovery and future as an agricultural hub.<\/p>\n

“This isn’t just about changing locations, this is about backing a community that’s backing us,” director Bruce Wright said.<\/p>\n

“Lismore’s post-disaster recovery story aligns perfectly with Primex’s evolution.<\/p>\n

“We’re not leaving our community behind; we’re leading it forward to where we can deliver the best outcomes for our farming and rural communities.”<\/p>\n

Primex is expected to inject more than $4.5 million into the Lismore area each year. The Lismore Showgrounds, which is undergoing a $4.7 million upgrade, will provide the new venue.<\/p>\n

President of the North Coast National \u2013 Lismore Showgrounds, John Gibson, said the partnership was long overdue.<\/p>\n

“This partnership will deliver enormous economic and cultural benefits during a crucial time in our city’s recovery and growth,” he said.<\/p>\n

Wright said the event remained grounded in community values while preparing for future growth.<\/p>\n

“We’re backing Lismore because Lismore is backing the future of regional agriculture,” he said.<\/p>\n

Norco Primex Field Days will run at the Lismore Showgrounds from May 21 to 23, 2026.<\/p>\n
