New Zealand’s automotive industry produced a tour de force at Fieldays 2026. And to celebrate it’s not all doom and gloom out there, here are some highlights from the southern hemisphere’s biggest agricultural event.

More than 132,000 visitors went through the gates at Mystery Creek, near Hamilton, over four days, with attendance up by 20 per cent from a year ago as exhibitor sites sold out in advance.

Richard Lindroos, New Zealand National Fieldays Society chief executive, says: “Fieldays continues to be where the primary industries come together to do business, share ideas and build connections.

“This year’s strong attendance and exhibitor demand highlight the confidence in the sector and the vital role Fieldays plays in enabling growth.”

Next year’s event is scheduled for June 16-19.
