History
The
Agricultural
Hall
was
built
in
1896
and
1898
is
the
recognised
inaugural
function
of
the
Horticultural
Society.
The
townsite
of
Kalamunda
was
officially
proclaimed
in
1901
and
thereafter
the
Agricultural
Group
became
known
as
the
“Kalamunda Show”.
Originally
the
Agricultural
Society
owned
the
Agricultural
Hall
and
the
Grounds
(now
Kostera
Oval).
In
1922
the
Agricultural
Society
found
they
could
not
finance
the
upkeep
of
the
Hall
and
grounds
and
the
decision
was
made
to
hand
the
Hall
and
grounds
to
the
Darling
Range Road Board.
The
Show,
especially
in
the
earlier
years,
was
the
major
event
held
within
the
Shire
and
became
the
ideal
opportunity
for
the
community
to
meet.
A
highlight
of
earlier
Shows
was
the
Show
Ball
held
on
the
Saturday
night
after
the
Show
and
held
in the Agricultural Hall.
Subsequently
there
were
a
few
minor
name
changes
until
1961
when
the
current
name
‘Kalamunda
and
Districts
Agricultural
Society’
became the permanent name.
In
1975,
due
to
declining
membership,
the
Society
entered
into
a
five
year
contract
with
the
Lions
Club
of
Kalamunda
to
run
the
Annual
Show
co-jointly.
This
arrangement
became
permanent
in
1980
and
an
amicable
financial
arrangement
for
running
the
Annual
Show
was
reached
between
the
two
groups.
This
arrangement
was
still
in
place
until
2014
when
the
Lions
Club
of
Kalamunda
resigned
from
the
partnership.
The
Show
is
now
entirely
organised
by
the
Agricultural
Society.
In
recent
years,
the
Show
has
shown
a
resurgence
amongst
the
community
with
strong
attendances
and
attracts
many
visitors
from
outside
the
district.
The
dates
for
the
Show
have
changed
many
times
since
its
inception
and
have
ranged
from
very
early
in
the
year
to
later
in
the
year.
The
dates
are
now
early
to
late
April
and
are flexible depending when Easter falls.
