The Katherine Show will go ahead and will open from Friday, July 16 and finish on Saturday, July 17.
With two action packed days, the show committee have worked hard to deliver a multitude of things to see and do.
Show Bag Time and Show Bag Frenzy's, Nadine Abbott said it's a wonderful feeling that the show will go ahead and the ability to work is not taken for granted.
"It's an amazing feeling to be able to work at the Katherine Show this year," Ms Abbott said.
"Alice Springs was cancelled, then we were in lockdown. We had no idea of which way it was all going to go. The jeopardy of these shows was nerve wracking. We are a travelling family. We've been on the road for 30 plus years.
"It's a generational business. Just to have all our family together, the business is still going and enjoy being on the road again as we had a long 18 month break of no shows."
There will be an assortment of show bags for people to pick up and enjoy.
"We'll have an arrangement of lolly bags from $4 to $30," Ms Abbott said.
"There will be novelty bags, name bags and we'll also have novelty trailer which will have a lot of different bits and pieces.
"There's a broad range of show bags and we'll have two trailers operating."

The show committee released a full list guide of activities for attendees to plan their show day. A lot of work has gone into making this event happen and hopefully it will flourish.
"We're very excited to be a part of the Katherine show. They always do and have done an immense job." Ms Abbott said.
"Get down to the show and have some fun with your family and friends. It's not only just about that, it will help get back some normality into socialising also.
"It'll be a great day out, grab a show bag, have a walk through to the pavilion, see the rides. That's what it's all about at the Katherine Show."
