The ‘Friendly Field Days’ are coming!

The Northland Field Days are coming on 2 – 4 March 2023. This is the largest agri-event in Northland, with something for everyone - rural or urban.

There will be hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest in farming innovations along with plenty of food and entertainment.  Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the home & leisure exhibitions or the fun of lawn mower racing or the mighty tractor pull. 

The field days started in 1985 at the Dargaville racecourse as a project run by the Dargaville Jaycees with some 80 exhibitors!

In 1986 permanent power was added to 60 sites, which provided a welcome facility for exhibitors. After a period of economic downturn, 1990 had a huge increase in attendance of both exhibitors and visitors. The increase has continued each year resulting in the event becoming the largest in Northland and the second largest agricultural event of its type in New Zealand.

In 2006 the land where the Northland Field Days is held now, was purchased by the society, and is now home to the annual event.

Since 2009, through grant funding and other financial assistance, the Northland Field Days has been able to maintain, upgrade, and expand the existing facilities.

The event eventually outgrew the Dargaville Jaycees but it is still organised by a group of volunteers’ The Northland Field Days is now an Incorporated Society, registered with NZ Charities Commission and annually provides community grants for scholarships, research etc aimed at reinvesting back into the rural sector. Wherever possible non-profit volunteer community groups are invited to be part of the event which has become a major source of fundraising for some of these groups.

Bring the whole family and come together to celebrate and support our region.
