The Goondiwindi Pastoral & Agricultural Society was founded to run the Annual Agricultural Show. Over time members of the organisation donated land to the show society to become one of the few show grounds which is a privately owned and run facility. The inaugural Show was conducted in 1877 by the Macintyre Pastoral Agricultural and Horticultural Society.

These groups running regular events and practise days at the showgrounds.
The committee are focusing on infastructure improvements to attract other events to the community and grounds.
