some early signs that the current downward trend is plateauing.
Taking place in just over six-weeks from Wednesday 12 to Saturday 15 June at Mystery Creek, Hamilton, 2024 marks the 56th year for Aotearoa’s iconic agriculture event.
“The excitement is building as we count down the days until the gates open,” says New Zealand National Fieldays Society CEO Peter Nation. “The site is starting to take shape with a large crew of contractors here full-time. The 12th of June will be here before we know it.”
